Juvenile Grey Butcherbird - Stockfoto

Close up image of a juvenile Grey Butcherbird (Cracticus torquatus) giving me the side eye while I whistle to grab its attention. These birds are native to Australia and are right up there with corvids when it comes to intelligence, completing one thousand piece jigsaw puzzles in a matter of days. Once this song bird reaches maturity, they turn various shades of grey and white, spending much of their time posing for photos.
