From The Daily Examiner 7 November 2009 on the subject of Grafton Regional Art Gallery:
Good Food Magpies
The family of magpies who live around the Gallery has two young members who are just starting to get their adult feathers. All staff at the gallery cafe, Georgie's, and the gallery would like these youngsters to grow up in the civilised manner of all magpies. So we are asking all our patrons and visitors to not feed the birds but to simply enjoy watching them as they forage in the gallery gardens and courtyard and listening to their beautiful warbles.
The youngsters will soon enough be told to move out by their parents to find their own territory. They will need hunting skills beyond the ones required to gain delicious tidbits from Georgie's customers not to mention having the appropriate social skills.
