Serenaded by Australian Magpies

- Over a decade ago, Danielle's journey as the Magpie Whisperer began when she first discovered her fascination for these intelligent birds. From that point on, she dedicated herself to the study and care of magpies, developing a deep bond and understanding of their behaviors and personalities.
She enjoys observing their interactions with each other and with their environment, from the way they enjoy playing, to the intricate vocalizations they use to communicate with one another. Over the years, her passion for magpies has only grown stronger, and she has made it her mission to raise awareness about these birds and to showcase their fun and lovable side through various means.
In addition to raising awareness, Danielle's fascination with magpies also motivated her to become a licensed wildlife carer. She was determined to repay these birds for all the countless ways they had helped her. Through her work, she has provided medical attention and rehabilitation to numerous injured or orphaned magpies, with the goal of helping them return to their natural habitat. In some cases, she has even taken in young magpies and raised them by hand, giving them a chance to thrive and survive in the wild.
Battling from severe anxiety and depression, over a decade ago, Danielle found a surprising ally in the form of magpies. Through the darkest of days, these intelligent birds stand by her, providing comfort and companionship when she needs it the most. This experience serves as a testament to the special connection between humans and animals, highlighting the therapeutic effects of nature on mental health.
"When experiencing moments of emotional distress, I find comfort in the company of Australian Magpies. Their resounding melodies provide an instant boost to my mood and a sense of calm to my mind. To me, magpies are not just birds, but rather cherished companions who are essential to my sense of well-being. Their presence has brought a sense of purpose and belonging that is exceptional, and I cannot imagine the direction my life would have taken without them."
Danielle finds solace in the company of birds, and often prefers their company to that of people. This preference stems from the fact that animals, unlike people, do not judge or criticize. Danielle has expressed that being around people can cause feelings of anxiety or discomfort, which she does not experience in the presence of animals. For her, the presence of animals provides a sense of peace and calm that is difficult to replicate in human interactions. In this sense, birds have become not only a source of joy and entertainment but also a source of emotional support for Danielle.

“Hey listen to our beautiful serenade!”
Proceeds to harmonize rusty gate noises.
That the audio quality, sadly.
They sing truly beautifully at sunrise in real life.

Electronic music in the wild
@@pikabolt09 yeah was gonna say it sounds played in reverse
Rusty gate noises 😂
The dissonance between them is so surreal and nearly terrifying. It’s as if they’re singing in reverse.
I was about to say just that!
Omg your right
Or do they
@@W0ElSME 😂 I think they actually do.
This is basically the first sound you hear in the morning where I am. Sometimes it'll also be a cockatoo
These guys make the best pets ever, you don't even need a cage. My grandmother finds one that's fallen out the nest every so often and she'll raise it up then let it go. They almost all come back and treat her house like home. They're all so funny and playful too, kinda like cats.
koolllllll😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Their young don't stay in their nests for long. Folks often think they've fallen out when they leave on purpose to forage. Their parents still help feed em for a while after the nest.
@@pygmypieman9988 I don't think my grandma could steal a bird from its parents. She already has plenty of birds she breeds and raising a baby magpie is a real pain. The ones I see in the wild keep a pretty close eye on their babies, so I have to assume these ones were all alone.
@@KamikazeCommie501 They'll often be left alone while their parents forage. People thinking that they've fallen out of their nest and/or have been abandoned is a frequent problem.
@@pygmypieman9988Yeah I see. Hers are all from the area she lives in the country though and they all know her well. They come and take the babies back off her once they're ready to go and they all stay in the area as a happy family. She hasn't done it more than a couple of times.
I agree though, people should be wary they're not stealing a bird who's being raised fine by parents. I'd guess my grandmother's are likely half-domesticated by now. She's lived there forever and they've always been there too in the trees. She recognizes individuals and names them and loves to watch them in the trees around her house. She lives on a cliff overlooking the Murray with giant gumtrees around and her view is right into the branches, it's amazing. Thanks for reading my nanna's biography lol
When I first moved to Oz , I thought these bird sounds were weird. I spent 30 odd years living there. Now that I'm in Europe, I miss them so much. Such intelligent, agile and wonderful birds.
Hey bud, I need my lawn mowed stat. Get your wizard ass back to Oz and mow my lawn. You have 48 hours to comply. If the job is still undone I'm sending a tribe of magpies after you.
They're definitely weirdos, like most Australian wildlife, but that's a lot of their charm. Until they decide to weaponise themselves, of course.
@@dynamaticdaniel7308Our daughter and her family moved to Australia last September. Whenever we FaceTime, all we hear in the background are the magpies. They have one that visits daily for titbits. , When they arrived they were victims of ‘swooping’ 😂 I’d never heard of such a thing.
There are Magpies everywhere. Perhaps not this exact species but here in UK they visit us daily for food and a conversation... Look for them!
@@dynamaticdaniel7308… Why do you call a beautiful black intelligent bird with a voice and friendly personality weird????… think your the one with the problem… weird is an understatement… off you go back to your cave
Sounds like they're trying to connect to the world wide web.
It seems your De Lorean is set for 1995.
There is a whole generation of adults that wouldn't know what you are talking about. Always nice to remember how old I am.
😂😂 I remember those days
This comment literally made me LOL
That did actually make me LOL!

As an Australian, I am deeply proud of the magpie, greatest song bird on earth !
🤣👍
You should hear ours in Canada.
They aren't melodious! They are just scamps. Lol
Love it when they swoop at me for walking too close, too
The magpie call will always be one of the best sounds of Australia to me
The serenade of magpies sounds like an audio engineer's worst nightmare.
Lol
Hahaha.
it does xD
As an undergrad studying audio engineering I 100% agree 😂
rofl!
Sounds like they're trying to contact their spaceship.
🤣🤣🤣🤣

Phew! That was a timely message sent just in time. Let me shake off the tension.
Exactly
@@actsrv9 hehehe, what a lovely plot twist :’))
Yup
The most beautiful sound to wake up to here in the country!
Imagine just chilling in your car with the window down when three magpies come along and perch on it and start singing the song of their people to you.
Biblically accurate angels be like:
Lol no kidding
"Be not afraid."
Said the wheel on fire thing with many eyes around.
*geometric screaming intensifies*
*I have no mouth, yet I must scream*
@@CMTechnica is that an eva reference or am I just a weeb
An early settler in Australia wrote home describing the magpies' song as"Angels gargling liquid gold". Still an apt description.
Over exaggeration they sound like a cat being run over
No. They are sweet and melodic.
@@elowishusmirkatroid4898 sweet like a lemon and as melodic as a jackhammer
@@admiralgoodboy You sure wouldn't think much of the cockatoos, then.
@@elowishusmirkatroid4898 no way cuckatoos are like a smooth summers breeze, cold water to thirsty lips
I didn’t realise how weird Australia magpies sound to people, i can hear them right now, such a natural thing
Aah the beautiful, relaxing sound of a magpie; can’t beat it!
They sound like 6-year-olds with harmonicas.
Lol
underwater...
I'll ask my nephew to play my harmonica to verify that.
It sounds like your magpies are corrupted. Have you tried turning off the magpies and back on again?
@WaveBlox MC I don’t like you
@WaveBlox MC I slightly dislike you.
@WaveBlox MC you danish pastry
They weren’t on airplane mode 🙄
they are mimicking a modem )
I love waking up to magpies making sound especially when I camp
It's so nice to be woken up by a Maggie sing-along. The Kookaburras are downright rowdy, loud and annoying.
Yeah, I do kinda like the kookaburras calling tho.
Was fortunate to visit Australia a few times, and would hear them in the morning. Nice way to wake up
It’s cute how they stop, look around, then start up again...it’s like they don’t know where that noise is coming from either....maybe they think “it’s got to be the other bird” and carry on. so cute.
I’m pretty sure they know they are making noise cause you know, they have to physically move muscles to do it
The magpies that visit our house for food do this to let their rellies know that breakfast is served (the others then turn up) and that other birds should just stay away (doesn’t work - kookaburras, ‘crows’ and butcher birds all come after the magpies have carolled)
I think birds always do some notes then stop
They’re likely listening for responses from any other magpies in the area. When they hear none, they continue.
“No no…one of us is flat. Let’s try again-“
Being serenaded by magpies is one experience - being dive bombed by them is quite another.
Very true
Got serenaded by one at the National Museum of Australia a few years ago. No dive bombs yet! 😁 ua-cam.com/video/vb6_3RszliA/v-deo.html
Where a cap & feed few meat scraps, they have good memories
Both are fun.
Rather be dived on than dumped on. Just saying
bird droppings are slightly acidic due to the seeds they eat they do a number on your cars paint coating
I could sit and listen to that all day.
I love magpie song, especially at midnight of a full moon, stunning.
Imagine alien race coming to earth and they talk like that.
We accidentally offend their emissary which then massacred 95% of the Earth population, then enslave the surviving 5%, Mongol style
"No birds"
Magpies: EeEeeeEEEEeee!
Aliens : understandable, have a great day.
@Nick The Great
Can’t wait to be a bird alien’s pet human? lol
you believe in aliens...lmao
Just read about the Australian Magpie in the New York Times. These birds helped each other remove tracking devices placed on them by researchers. It was a fascinating and awe inspiring read. These are _very_ intelligent creatures! Also, if you are bothered by these 3 in unison, you owe it to yourself to search youtube for single magpies singing. They really have a beautiful and complex song.
If you treat them well they are amazingly friendly, at my house they come inside if I leave the windows open. They walk around and then leave after a while. But if you cross them….. beware they hold a vendetta for years, they swoop and will actually hit you with there sharp beak. When I was a kid we caught a young bird and bought it home, the parents sat outside the door and attacked at every opportunity, even after we gave baby back they continued to hunt us for months. Best to be friends with them.
They also provide entertainment in comedy form, such as early spring when someone gets too close to a nesting mother maggie 😂
Praise God, this is truly a beautiful and uplifting performance!
Thanks Maggie Whisperer, I've been trying to find out who/what this was for ages!
they are very intelligent, study my New England NSW many years ago was incredible learnt masses about lifespan and their abilities.
Oh yeah, I've always loved their singing for this exact reason. That complexity is one of a kind.
Australia has some amazing (and the friendliest) birds in the world: kookaburras, cockatoos, budgies and these little guys :)
These birds have special effects down to a science. What marvelous creatures.
They are communicating with the Universe ❤
"Let me sing you...the song of my people."
*malfunctioning R2D2 noises*
I prefer "Celtic R2D2"
Would be funnier if they sang the Harry Potter theme from the first movie.
Sweetly caressing and loving malfunctioning r2d2 noises
and one of them is actually named r2d2
Their serenade sounds like a sound effect played in reverse.
Good description.
🤔 Now I’m actually wondering how it would actually sound like played in reverse!
Jojo
Not only that the magpies sound in reverse, but the country is called down under (upside down)
omfg, it kinda does haha i can never unhear this now lolll
Love the Magpies. We get them daily
The magpie is like: "Damn, i spoke in 10 languages to that human, he just sits and stares, must b3 dense or smthn"
sounds like a guy with a harmonica glued on his mouth getting cornered by Hannibal Lector in a back alley.
😂 Good one...
Why Hannibal specifically?
but how would you know?

I have a lot of family downunder, have visited 3 times since '98. The 1st sounds you hear are these funny old Magpies, i just loved listening to their songs & chatter all day. Miss them!
I love to hear the magpies and kookaburras, best sounds ever. They always make me smile.😊 😁😁

9yr old me, desperately trying to figure out how to play a harmonica days before the talent show, where I said I would play the harmonica:
did same with piano....pretended stage fright day of show lol
Magpies used to talk to me all day during the season. I miss them now that I am in an apartment complex.
I have three Magpies that visit me in the South Eastern suburbs of Melbourne daily. They are amazing. They also want to come into the house to explore but I won't let them go too far. Very intelligent birds. One threw an empty plastic cup at me recently. It was to say it's empty. Come on, fill it up!!!
They're just distracting you while another magpie is going through your wallet.
Best one yet 🤪
they sound like something you would hear on don't starve.
FirSt thing i was thinking
Oh dang you're right.
Yes!😂
I WAS THINKING THIS WHEN I SAW THIS COMMENT
You’re really onto something, they even look like they’re from Don’t Starve
Magpies are incredibly smart and social birds.
..and comical. The warbling is actually jazz improvisation, they pause for applause THEN restart in unison.
Sometimes I wake in the still of night and I can hear them calling out to each other in the nearby bush. It is such a beautiful relaxing sound.
That explains why there’s no Australian Disney princess.
RIP

Some people find this beautiful...the reason there's no Australian princesses is because it would be an aborigines princess and we all know how Australians feel about them
@@jamesmeppler6375 you kinda lost me, im not sure what people’s opinions are about aborigines. My mind went to the birds not singing on pitch which isn’t palatable for a cinematic musical.
@@johomie3238 He's saying Australia is bloody racist mate!
Now i wish Vanellope was australian, a magpie would suit her 😂
@@roryross3878 cool
No wonder people used to believe in demons or ghosts. Imagine this hearing in the middle of the night in a forest.
The Australian brush tailed possum is the creature that will really scare the hell out of you late at night it sounds like the creature from the Black Lagoon is outside your bedroom window, sleep well kids !!!
Remember, these birdies actually do turn people into ghosts. Their feathers may be pretty but their beaks are very strong and sharp.
What do you mean "used to believe" some twits still do. :)
This is a terrible rationalization. Because the people would SEE THESE THINGS ALL THE TIME. Believe it or not when you work on a farm for generations, you become familiar with the local wildlife. Same for any region of earth. They believed in ghosts because it is a real phenomenon on earth, and you have been lied to by objectivity materialists. HERE'S THE REAL REDPILL BUCKO! CAVEMEN WERE LITERALLY IN THE BRAIN NO DIFFERENT THAN YOU! WHAT COULD THAT MEAN? LETS THINK REAL HARD....
@@hawhafunnyraffs5568 are you okay
The greatest bird call in the world, bar none

I love the sound they make

my singing:
*Me Covering My Ears*
"THEY'RE SO BEAUTIFUL!"
*Blood Dripping from my Nose*
"TRULY A GIFT FROM GOD!"
Made me laugh 🙂
I miss the sound of those birds! I visit family in Australia every couple of years and have come to love those sounds❤️❤️
you must feel like a queen being serenaded like this.
Fun Fact: Australian Magpies are being regarded as inventors of the 'dubstep' genre.
also fun fact: dubstep was invented by someone accidently falling down some stairs with a soundboard in his hand.
Also fun fact technically Australian magpies aren’t magpies at all. Magpies belong to the family corvidae. A family which also contains crows, ravens and jays. Australian magpies are in the family artamidae, making them closer related to cuckoos and pied butcher birds.
Fun fact: People often use "Fun Fact" for something that is not fact.
@@NovaRanger007 it’s called a fun fact because the person using it found it interesting. Also fact hunting can be fun.
@@wildsideofthings7733 fun fact, what you said is not a fact nor fun. Also don't. Just Don't.
I would have named one WD40
Lmao
OMG- that is truly laugh out loud funny ( I thought they sounded like see-saw hinges). Thank you!
R2D2, wD40, and steve...
lmfaooo
spirtz that WD42 into that bird beak
that's my first memory and kids playing outside. I have as a child in my cot.
I find this sound so beautifully eerie
I wasn't a big fan of Maggies as a kid (terrified after being swooped numerous times) until my brother brought home a chick who'd been blown out of his nest. That Magpie completely changed my view of Magpies from that day on. They're incredible birds & I absolutely love the sound of Magpies singing.
Hearing them sing in the morning is a brilliant way to start the day!
Plot twist: he was blown out of his nest because he is a nice magpie.
When you’re in a surreal nightmare and the monsters sound like this.
WHY DO THEY SOUND LIKE THE DONT STAVE TOGETHER CHARACTERS HAD A STROKE LIKE!?!!
It sounds really pretty, what is wrong with you? Gee, sorry they don't sing in a familiar western musical scale... They are birbs!
Love magpies coolest birds -
This brings back memories of dial up connecting to the internet👀

We have these early morning visitors in NZ too but currently I hear the less than melodious squawking of Pukeko and Mynas in the garden!
They are just distracting you as one steals everything you own
That'd be a european magpie, the only thing Australian magpies want to steal is your life.
"just smile and wave boys, just smile and wave"
I mean the ones we have here totally do that. Steal your food or your shiny stuff... Or anything small enough to fly off with haha
@@OneFreedomForever lol yes, never worry about the ones that stand in front of you singing. Worry about the ones you CAN'T see lmao
They sound so cute that I'm crying!!!!! 😍
These guys are amazing. There are a couple of magpies that visit now and then, but never approach me this close. The female has most courage and the one that comes closet than the male. Sometimes I get to see their chicks as well. Lovely birds. Thank you for sharing.

They have a very specific call for that action, we hear it a lot in springtime.
No lie lol
My grandmother's house was surrounded by maggies growing up. I hadn't heard them for years and when I moved house I heard them again. It brought me to tears of the lovely memories of my grandmother. Now I hear them every day and smile. I don't understand how people are so negative to them.
Mate same here, in NZ I've seen maybe 4 Maggies total not like home. They are the sound of Australia to many❤️🇦🇺 sorry kookaburra's😂 ohhh I nearly forgot, the Crows I miss same, none here, miss the most🥰
I always loved hearing magpie song echoing through the misty gumtree mornings, its so soothing, so.... home! 🥰
Какие интересные птицы❤😊
Yes they get real interesting around breeding time Australia when they will swoop at your head, if you are too close to their nest. Especially kids on bicycles.
That's only if they don't know you
Magies used to smash me when i was a little kid with blond hair, but I still love them. They are the most "dog like" birds I have ever seen. Wild magies rolling on their backs whilst they play fight, being indignant when they have to hurry to walk across the road. Amazing animals.
if you feed them and talk to them they remember your face and won't hassle you .. sounds nuts but it's true
Yea true corvids do that as well like jackdaws.
Define "smash" ՃᄼՃ

I have these beautiful birds out side my house, what a joy to wake up to their songs very early ❤❤
they're trying their best and Im proud of them
The sound of ancient office chairs replicated flawlessly.
My best memories as a child was camping ⛺️ with my family and being woken by these beautiful calls.
Half a world away I heard very different but scrapey calls from the bird that occupies this place in my continent’s biome while waking up camping with my family.
I just remember resenting these guys because every weekend they would go off right next to my window when I was trying to enjoy a sleep in
I have a family of 7 magpies that live at my house. I even took a photo of 4 of them nesting on 4 different locations inside my shed & blocking the entrance while I did so & they didn't even care.
I'll walk past them literally right next to them & I can see that they trust me completely because they don't even take their focus off the ground they're fossicking around in & pecking at.
I leave them congealed fat from when I cook chops or a roast & the next day I see their little peck marks in it where they've been eating it. I love their presence in my home life.
i hear this every morning

That’s harmony, followed by solo improvisation finishing up with a feather ruffle! Love it ❤
As an Aussie, I have a family of magpies visit me 3 times a day, usually up to 6 birds, love them, they are fantastic, humorous and an intelligent bird.
Isn't it the best when they just sit there in front of you, and chatter away, talking about their life? I heard recently that maggies make a name for their "human". I am so humbled to think that these beautiful birds who visit my home would bother to create a name for me I love magpies. So much.
This is very true, however hilariously embarrassing for me as I named the magpie who attached to me 'STAR' (as in beautifully talented singing star) and Star's signature call for me to come out of the house was the most loud and musical 'FAAHKOOooOOoo'!
Repeated over and over until I appeared.
Apparently cats also come up with names for their humans! Animals are so smart, and they communicate between each other so much I guess it makes sense that they have words and names of their own!
