Crazy eyes

Posted by Helen (Melbourne, Australia) on 17 July 2008 in Animal & Insect.

This is a Pied Currawong Strepera fuliginosa; another of our native Australian birds. When I was young we called them crazy eyes. They have a remarkably unsettling stare with those bright yellow eyes. You can find out more about them here. Click here if you'd like to hear it's call.
