This butcherbird followed me from one perch to another. I even saw what I assume is its kid. A juvenile butcher has brownish plumage, which I will upload later.

@samueljohnson@mstdn.social oh wow! Amazing.. I hope I get to do the same thing as him one day! Thank you
@crimsonbutterfly Used to see these in the Dandenong Ranges and in Central Victoria every day. Now, in Hobart, I hear them often but never see them.
@crimsonbutterfly Exquisite call. One time, one swooped my son who was a toddler at the time. Left a bleeding gash in his head. I'd never heard of them doing that.
@crimsonbutterfly They’re one of my favourites, yes. And I was surprised to discover one day that they can be great mimics too.
@crimsonbutterfly Hello, again. Lost count (& track) of yr incarnations. This one's wonderful & impressive, like the photographer (no limit to yr talents!). Oldest friend, retired, now in Melbourne does this full time. Posts to https://ebird.org (nothing else). Gets paid to do some bird surveys that cover his costs (in Australia) & some travels beyond. 🇵🇭 still on his To Visit list. I'll point him here but he's not into social media.
