This is a garden variety magpie, found all over Australia. It even has football teams named after it! They like open park or garden areas with a few tall gum trees around for shealter and nesting. During nesting season (Aug - Oct) they get very agressive in protecting their territory and have been know to cause injuries to humans when they swoop. Growning up across from a park that was home to magpies as a kid, I would look forward to "magpie season" to be entertained by the people running scared from swooping magpies.
