Willie Wagtails (Rhipidura leucophrys) are probably Australia’s most loved bird, always on the move and wagging their tails from side-to-side on landing. They are confiding and plucky, often approaching people and animals closely for food or to collect fur for their nests. Willies are fearless and territorial, and often harass much larger birds, and sometime scats and dogs. A pair of Willie Wagtails bred near our house this year, and often visited our garden to hunt for insects. We began feeding them mealworms (Tenebrio molitor), the larvae of a beetle that feeds on stored grains. One of the adults began taking mealworms from our hands, while the other (the one with a displaced wing feather) was more wary. Both parents began demanding food for their young and would call us out of the house with their chittering calls. They took food to the nest every 2-3 minutes, then returned for more. After about two weeks they brought their three fledged young to our back veranda and began feeding them there. A pair of Australian Ravens (Corvus coronoides) also visits our garden and one of the adult Willie Wagtails would immediately break off feeding to harass the Raven until it left.
