Who Is the Magpie Whisperer?

Danielle, known by her persona on social media pages as ‘The Magpie Whisperer‘ has great respect and understanding for Australian Magpies. She’s been observing these wild birds up close and personal since 2011, while being lucky enough to form extremely close bonds, with many.
