Currawong is a large bird of Australia. Currawongs are about 20 inches (50 centimeters) long, with strong bills and yellow eyes. They are black, black and white, or gray. Currawongs live in eastern Australia from Cape York to Tasmania and Lord Howe Island and across southern Australia.
The six main kinds of currawongs belong to two species, pied currawongs and gray currawongs. Their name is derived from the call curra-wa-currawong of the pied currawong.
