An Australian Magpie stares directly down the camera lens, its red eyes piercing from its black feathers covering its head and breast. A collar of white feathers hangs over its shoulders. The beak is white with a black tip. When viewed front on like this, the entire beak resembles the face of a seagull with the black nostrils making the eyes and the black tip looking like the seagull beak.
