Djiti Djiti is the noongar word for the djert known in English as the Willie Wagtail, because of its trademark chattering sound. The Noongar are the Aboriginal Australian peoples who live in the south western corner of Western Australia. They tell a story of how in the Dreaming the Djiti djiti was a great hunter who was one day robbed of his catch by Wardong the crow and Dwerda the dingo. They say that wagtail never forgot this crime, which is why he still angrily attacks crows and dogs much bigger than itself.
