White-winged Choughs

White-winged Choughs (pronounced "chuffs") are a resident breeding species in our garden. We usually have a family of about 12 - 15 here every day. Sometimes they are joined by another flock. I have seen a flock of about 30 flew through our mallee scrub near the house.

Choughs make a large bowl shaped nest out of mud, reinforced with twigs and grass. The whole family builds the nest and tend to the young. They are found throughout eastern and south eastern Australia.
