Australia's emblems are the kangaroo and the emu..........

We eat both of them. :-0

I've eaten kangaroo (I hope it wasn't Skippy) but don't fancy emu, it might be tough and/or stringy.

Let us hope the county pick the correct one - Hampshire did not - shows how much they know their county's history. ;-)

Yes a very good question at this time of the year. Magpies are monogamous which is why it is often considered bad luck to see just the one (hence the rhyme - "One for sorrow, two for joy etc etc").

Magpies as well as others - you seem to have an interest and the RSPB is a great charity that answers all of your genuine questions.

I don't profess to be an expert ornithologist but I will endeavour to answer your posts in your quest to become better informed about feathered species.
