Evidence of target specificity in attacks by Australian magpies on humans
Wildlife Research, 2003Although attacks on humans by Australian magpies ( Gymnorhina tibicen ) are a source of significant wildlife–human conflict in urban areas of Australia, little is known about the patterns of attack by these birds. Such information is essential for the development of sound management plans for this species.

Females sing more often and at higher frequencies than males in Australian magpies
Behavioural Processes, 2020Birdsong is a particularly useful model for animal communication studies. However, current knowledge is derived mainly from the study of male song, and is therefore incomplete. Here, we investigated whether singing behaviour differs between sexes in the cooperatively breeding Western Australian magpie (Gymnorhina tibicen dorsalis).

Aggression by Australian MagpiesGymnorhina tibicenToward Human Intruders
Emu - Austral Ornithology, 1999The pattern of aggressive behaviour by Australian MagpiesGymnorhina tibicen toward human and hetero-specific intruders was studied at rural and suburban sites in the Brisbane area during the 1994–95 breeding season. Both non-intrusive observations and experimental intrusions were used. All observations were based on breeding pairs.

Significance of Back Colour in Territorial Interactions in the Australian Magpie
Australian Journal of Zoology, 1995In eastern Australia, two forms of the Australian magpie occur: a white-backed form and a black-backed form. These two forms hybridise across northern Victoria and into South Australia. In this study the response of territorial magpies to caged intruders was examined. Pairs of adult male magpies were introduced into territories.

Similarity of the song nuclei of male and female Australian magpies (Gymnorhina tibicen)
Behavioural Brain Research, 2001The organisation of the song control nuclei of the Australian magpie (Gymnorhina tibicen), a species with highly complex song, was investigated. In contrast to most of the songbirds studied so far, the Australian magpie sings throughout the year and both males and females sing.

Can redirected aggression explain interspecific attacks by Australian magpies on other birds?
Behaviour, 2007AbstractAttacks by participants of conflicts against a third party are referred to as redirected aggression. Usually the third party is a conspecific — few documented cases of redirected aggression against other species exist. The Australian magpie (Gymnorhina tibicen), however, often attacks other species; the reasons for attacks are largely unknown ...
