- Birds in Backyards: Grey Butcherbird Grey Butcherbirds are aggressive predators. They prey on small animals, including birds, lizards and insects, as well as some fruits and seeds. Uneaten food may be stored in the fork or a branch or impaled. Grey Butcherbirds sit on an open perch searching for prey which, once sighted, they pounce on.
The common name 'Silver Trumpet Tree' and the species name argentea refer to the silvery cast to the leaves.
Slightly confusingly, however, the tree is also called the 'Golden Trumpet Tree' or 'Yellow Trumpet Tree', and this refers to the tree's magnificent flowering habit.
