The Pied Butcherbird *(Cracticus nigrogularis)* is one of Australia's songbirds. This medium-sized native bird sports a bold black and white pattern that stands out in Australia's landscapes. Many Australians consider its hauntingly beautiful flute-like song to be the finest of all our native birds.
