Image Flag of South Australia.svg thumb 250px right Flag of South Australia featuring the Piping Shrike The Piping Shrike is the emblematic bird that appears on South Australia South Australia s flag of South Australia flag , State Badge and Coat of arms of South Australia Coat of Arms . The bird appears displayed proper with its wings outstretched and curved upwards. Although the image of the piping shrike is readily identified with South Australia, the bird in its own right has never been formally adopted as a faunal or list of Australian bird emblems bird emblem of the state. Origins The Piping Shrike first appeared on the State Badge which was proclaimed in 1904. The original drawing was by Robert Craig of the School of Arts. A later version drawn by Harry Pelling Gill H. P. Gill , who was the Principal of the School of Arts, was produced in 1910. The badge design, which set the bird against a backdrop of a yellow rising sun, was incorporated into the state flag 1904 and the Coat of Arms 1984 . Identification of the bird Because the name Piping Shrike is not used to identify any bird, there has been some confusion over what bird it represents. While some think it resembles the Murray Magpie Grallina cyanoleuca government sources identify the bird as the White backed Magpie Gymnorhina tibicen telonocua formerly Gymnorhina tibicen leuconota . The connection of this bird to the name Piping Shrike can be seen in this early observation by explorer Charles Sturt in the 1840s GYMNORHINA LEUCONOTA GOULD., The White backed Crow Shrike. This bird is somewhat larger than, and very much resembles a magpie, but the proportion of white is greater, and there is no metallic or varied tint on the black feathers as on the European bird.

It debuted on Broadway at the Cort Theater , on January 15, 1952, with Jose Ferrer as the producer, director and star. Kramm received the 1952 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for the work. The play is set in the mental ward of a city hospital, and revolves around a theatrical director named Jim Downs, who has been driven to the verge of insanity and suicide by his estranged wife Ann, who is the shrike alluded to in the play s title. To outsiders, Ann seems to epitomize sweetness, kindness and graciousness. In reality, she is a bitter, manipulative shrew. Like the shrike , a small predatory bird that kills and impales smaller birds, Ann seems harmless but brings death and destruction to everyone she grows close to. Ann married Jim in hopes that he would eventually gain fame, wealth and stardom, and so his lack of success galls her. Her mockery and nagging led Jim to an unsuccessful suicide attempt, by swallowing a bottle of sleeping pills. This led to his commitment to a mental hospital, where Jim finds that it will not be easy to secure a release.

Ann regularly visits Jim at the hospital, supposedly to provide comfort and love, but really to continue her hectoring and manipulation of him. She is also able ... so, he places himself utterly under Ann s control.
