Yes they are bloody agressive birds too. My cat can't go anywhere out side without being attacked. He just ignores them now.
Watching the wattle birds chase crows is funny.
Seems to me they are territorial birds too. We have the same two which pretty much fly from corner to corner of our block.

It's a noisy miner. Few of them around here atm. I couldn't see many of them in Melbourne outer east when I first moved in, but there are few now. I didn't see them in Melbourne outer north either, but there may be some now. They may be recovering there numbers here eastern part of the country.
