@Setanta,
Meet 'Penguin', the confused magpie who lives as a human: She sleeps and eats with the family, cuddles on the couch and even helps the kids brush their teeth with her BEAK!
Having a pet magpie around the house has become the norm for the Bloom family.
Named 'Penguin' simply because of her resemblance to the aquatic creature, parents Cameron and Sam along with their three kids - Rueben, 13, Noah, 11 and Oli, 9 - are quite used to her presence around their Newport home on Sydney's northern beaches.
She's often found having a sneaky snuggle in bed, dining with the family or helping the kids get ready for school in the morning.
The charismatic and affectionate bird is also popular on social media, with the help of an Instagram account which now has 3,569 followers.
