The magpie is a common bird, seen in parks and suburban gardens across many parts of Australia. It is easily recognised and has the following features: 1  its head, belly and tail tip are all black. 2  there are splashes of white on its wings, its lower back and tail, and the back of its head.agpies feed on small insects and animals that live on, or just under, the surface of the ground. A favourite is the scarab beetle, which is a major pest of garden lawns. Magpies will also eat frogs, small lizards, meat scraps and grain.
It is usually inside the lower lip, under the tongue or the inside of mouth and caused mainly by biting the lips or trauma during eating of food. Other possibilities are of a lipoma, hemangioma or fibroma. All of these are benign skin growths but they cannot be removed on their own.
