Other common black-and-white birds in Australia are the butcherbird (or “butcher-bird”) and the magpie-lark (also called “peewee”). Butcherbirds have white chests and are smaller than magpies. Magpie-larks are also smaller, are thinner than butcherbirds, and have a different pattern of black and white markings. Currawongs are bigger than magpies and are mostly black. Magpie-larks are not related to the family of magpies, butcherbirds, and currawongs.
