== == == == The bird is the 'Piping Shrike' or White-Backed Magpie. It is very common in South Australia, and most people are familiar with it. Its song is a particularly beautiful fluting carol, especially when they sing, as they do, on a moonlit night. The birds vigorously defend their nest, causing a real problem to animals and humans in some areas in late winter and spring. For all these reasons, the bird was chosen to be the official government symbol and first appeared on the flag in 1901 against the background of the rising Commonwealth sun and was officially gazetted in 1904.
