Hi everyone
I went for a walk through some bush near a large shopping centre and found lots of juveniles.
Could this be a juvenile raven? It didn't make any noise and has dark eyes, not white eyes
This looks to me like a juvenile butcherbird, but my book says the ones in our area, pied and grey, have brown juveniles. It has a butcherbird beak
Same bird as one above
Juvenile magpie
Noisy miner at its nest
This appears to be a baby magpie lark getting ready to fly. Sorry about the quality - it was a long way up a gum tree
I think this is another baby (on the branch) that has just left the nest
I think the parent is in the middle (long tail)
This is a galah feeding a juvenile in our backyard
Don't know about the first but I think you are right about the juv Butcherbird.
It's amazing how many nests are around isn't it?
This morning I walked under a tree I have been walking under for 3 months and all the leaves have dropped ready for the summer flowering.... I was amazed in such a small tree to find 4 nests that had been used over the past month. two noisy miner nests and two figbirds. I hadn't even realised they were there amongst the foliage.

BTW the juv ravens have a dark eye so that must be one in the first pic.

Could be a young crow, that patch of bare skin at the base of the beak is often pink in young Ravens.

The first is a Corvid, but not being familiar with others than the Aus Raven, I cannot say. Have a look in one of your field guides, they should mention juvenile colors, gape etc... hopefully. :)
Thanks everyone for your help. I had a look at my books - juveniles do have brown eyes. It also had that round fuzzy-headed look that many juvenile birds have. We don't get crows down here, so it must be an Australian raven
