to&nbsp;Australia. It occurs in a range of different habitats including arid, semi-arid and temperate zones. It is found across southern Australia, but is absent from the deserts of central Australia and the monsoon tropics of northern Australia. It has a characteristic rollicking&nbsp;birdsong. It appears to be adapting well to city living, and can be encountered in the suburbs of many Australian cities including Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, Sydney and Hobart. The grey butcherbird preys on small vertebrates including other birds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other birds in the same family include the&nbsp;Australian magpie, the&nbsp;currawongs,&nbsp;woodswallows and other members of the&nbsp;butcherbird&nbsp;genus&nbsp;<em>Cracticus<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The&nbsp;grey butcherbird&nbsp;(Cracticus torquatus) is a widely distributed species endemic to&nbsp;Australia.
