Brisbane backyard a thrush?

Morning, I am new to this forum, so hope I have posted the images correctly.

I am trying to identify these birds. I have only seen them in our backyard (western suburbs Brisbane) this year. There is a flock of about 6 birds and they have been raiding the neighbour's chicken house after seed. They are very noisy (can't describe the call) and not afraid of people. Sorry part of the pic is blurry, but wanted to show the tail. I think this is parent and young bird. Hopefully I have posted the picture correctly.

Hi And yes they look like Apostle Birds as we have a very large population of them around where I live. They are an amusing bird to watch as they are quite noisy and animated and not at all shy as they conduct their daily lives.

Thank you for your welcome and responses. I posted this to the id site and there is general agreement that they are apostle birds. Hope they stay around.
