Grey Butcherbird
Cracticus torquatus
Grey Butcherbirds inhabit open forests, woodland edges, parks, and gardens across much of Australia. They hunt from exposed perches, dropping onto insects, lizards, small birds, and other small prey. Their varied diet also includes fruit and carrion when available. Like other butcherbirds, they may wedge or impale prey on thorns or sharp branches to help tear it apart.
