AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A long time ago the crow and the magpie had beautiful white feathers like the white cockatoo. That was before they teased the eagle, who deserved more respect.

A tale from the Adnyamathanha people, The Magpie and the Crow, “is said to have taken place between Nepabunna and Angepenna in the Flinders Ranges of South Australia.” The story explains the colors and markings of the magpie and the crow.
