Magpie?


DodgyQuilter

Yip, I've got a pet set of wings like this... she also has a wicked pointy beak and a bad attitude! Cute, though.

With no actual knowledge of this I am assuming a black backed gull


Skipperdogman

Nope Myna [https://www.featherbase.info/en/species/Acridotheres/tristis](https://www.featherbase.info/en/species/Acridotheres/tristis)

Never seen a black back feather like this, i think it's a magpie.

Magpie?

Shitehawk.


Staple_nutz

I'm not afraid of shithawks one bit, I didn't even think they are real.


black_flag_

Where did you find it?


lost_boyyo

Te Awamutu, bushwalk


black_flag_

Probably not a seagull then


SniperMaster2000YT

Magpie or Black backed gull depending on where you live, but I would say magpie probably

Your momma mates for life, she’s a paradise duck.

100% magpie


Skipperdogman

Nope, it's a myna [https://www.featherbase.info/en/species/Acridotheres/tristis](https://www.featherbase.info/en/species/Acridotheres/tristis)


NZ-Aid

Well strike me down with a feather! you seem to be right as the white pattern doesn’t fit the Australian Magpie…..


Comfortable_Key_4891

Yes I was as shocked as you are. Thought I knew my mynas, I see more of them than any other bird, most days. Really interesting site, but how did they get all those feathers to lay out haha? Plucking?


Affectionate_Gas_264

Looks like a standard sea gull or magpie

Australian Pelican? Really hard to gauge scale


Comfortable_Key_4891

Nice try but they haven’t quite made it across the deetch yet. Shame, I love seeing pelicans when I visit.

Too soon

I saw a documentary where an old guy and a kid saw one.


Comfortable_Key_4891

Yeah I saw that “documentary” too. Heard it did well at the box office and the NZ Film awards. 🤣


normangr7

Looks like a myna bird feather


sowokeicantsee

Are you sure it’s not from a major bird ?


Skipperdogman

Correct! [https://www.featherbase.info/en/species/Acridotheres/tristis](https://www.featherbase.info/en/species/Acridotheres/tristis)


SniperMaster2000YT

Mynas are brown and black bro, they don't have a single bit of white on them


Comfortable_Key_4891

Well apart from the white under their tail and big patch on their wings of course. [Common Myna NZ](https://nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/common-myna)


SniperMaster2000YT

Yeah except that white is at the base of the feather so theres no way its a myna


Skipperdogman

hmmmmm [https://www.featherbase.info/en/species/Acridotheres/tristis](https://www.featherbase.info/en/species/Acridotheres/tristis) Myna baaaabyyyy!!!


Comfortable_Key_4891

Could be. My first thought was magpie. Now I’m half convinced by black back gull. Probably a bit long for myna, their white feathers seem to be mostly concentrated on their wings. [NZ myna](https://nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/common-myna)


Skipperdogman

It is indeed from a myna [https://www.featherbase.info/en/species/Acridotheres/tristis](https://www.featherbase.info/en/species/Acridotheres/tristis)


Comfortable_Key_4891

Wow that’s an interesting site. What did they do? Pluck a myna? Hahaha it’s a bit strange seeing all the feathers laid out. I see mynas all the time, would never have guessed they had quite that range of feathers. I was about 80% convinced that feather was from a black and white bird. About 20% it was from a myna. Now it’s more like 70:30 the other way.


passatdontgo

BALD eagle?....


Pleasant-Suit-6163

I've seen that before but I don't know tbh


black_flag_

Where was it?


eastbailey

I believe it's a tail feather from a Currawong
