Butcherbirds In Australia - The Executioners Of The Bird World introduces you to the 5 species of butcherbird that live in Australia. I concentrate on the two most common: the pied butcherbird and the grey butcherbird. • Visit the Birdwatch Blog here: • https://birdwatchworld.com • Check out Birdwatch World on Instagram: • / birdwatch_world • All of my bird videos are filmed using the following gear: • ▶ Sony a6400 mirrorless camera - https://geni.us/oi9dJW • ▶ Sony 200-600 mm f5.6-6.3 G OSS lens - https://geni.us/99gw • ▶ Sirui W2204 Carbon Fibre Waterproof Tripod - https://sirui-photo.com.au/product/si... • ▶ Manfrotto MVH502AH Fluid Video Head - https://geni.us/NL0Sjjx • ▶ SmallRig a6400 camera cage - https://www.smallrig.com/smallrig-cag... • ▶ Zoom H6 recorder - https://geni.us/lbB9x4 • ▶ Jobi GorillaPod 1K tripod - https://geni.us/JpeU • ▶ Movo SMM5-B Microphone Shock Mount - https://geni.us/xOGraF • ▶ Deity Pocket Wireless Microphone Kit - https://geni.us/jXEpP3 • ▶ Nikon Prostaff 3S 8x42 Binoculars - https://geni.us/hyrt5 • The 5 types of butcherbirds that live in Australia are: black-backed, grey, silver-backed, black, and pied. • Butcherbirds get their name from the way they hang their captured prey from spikes while they dismember it. • They will use twigs, barbed wire, or crevices in between branches to hang a carcass just like a butcher would hang meat from a hook. • They are very similar in appearance to the Australian magpie and are in fact from the same family. They have a more thickset appearance than a magpie. Magpies are more slender-looking and also have black bellies, whereas most butcherbirds, apart from the black butcherbird, have white bellies. • Pied butcherbirds are identifiable by their black hood. I liken it to an executioner's hood as it extends from the back of their necks, all across their heads and down to their chests. • Grey butcherbirds on the other hand have white throats and dark grey feathers on their backs. • Pied butcherbirds are 28 to 32 centimetres in length. Grey butcherbirds are 27 to 30 centimetres in length. Both species are smaller than the Australian magpie which is between 37 and 43 centimetres in length. • The grey butcherbird cutout used in the measurement section of the video was taken by Ken Griffiths (sourced from Canva). • The silver-backed butcherbird image was sourced from Wikimedia Commons.
