butcher birds are magpie-like birds, native to australasia....they have a long straight bill with a hook at the end, for skewering prey.....they skewer their prey on thorns or tree forks to support them while eating or to be left there for storage for another time..........sorry gwill...i cheated and looked it up......lol......
