"The magpie has swooped in with a decisive win!
After almost 150,000 votes, the race for the nation's hearts and ears has drawn
to a close.
A third of all votes in the final round went to
Gymnorhina tibicen: the
famous Australian magpie.
Its songs are so familiar in so many different parts of Australia, perhaps it's
no surprise that this melodious bird soared to the top of our vote for the
nation's favourite animal sound.
Clearly beloved by many Australians, the magpie also won the first round of
voting, when it was up against the starting pack of 28 animals carefully
selected by our panel of experts (with a bit of help from social media)."
