We have some friendly magpies in our front yard that I occasionally feed (along with the rest of the bird population around us).
Here is "Precious". She's the dominant female, and is mate to "Sam" (who I'll post up later). She's carolling here, making sure everyone knows where she is and that it is her territory.

Our house is right in the middle of a boundary between two pairs so "Darling", "Sam", "Sweetie" (daughter) and "Beakless" (Precious's sister) are in our front yard, and "Mama", "Papa" and current "babba" are in the back yard. I have more interaction with Sam and co than I do the backyard mob as they have the gully behind us to garner feed from.
Another one of "DArling" (you can just make out the back of Sam in the upper right of the shot and, yes the eye isn't as clear as it could have been)

And two of a Noisy Minor. This breed disappeared from around our home for the past couple of years but they've learnt that I'll occasionally throw out some old bread. There were 15 of them in and around the front yard the morning I took these.
