Thank you so much Pat & Graham! I have an affinity for Galahs, they are such comical birds! Nice work with that big lens, the color and detail are fantastic!Kitty R. Rodehorst-Hanna August 01, 2010

I've never seen this parrot... beautiful. #8800026Michelle Alton August 02, 2010
When we visited Musselbrook almost 30 years ago, we were told that these beauties were PESTS! I was incredulous! #8800637Chris Ebben August 04, 2010
Great close up this little beauty. We saw a lot up north on our recent holiday=^..^= (Michelle, I'd say they are concidered pests out Muswellbrook way, most farmers don't like native aniamls over here!!!) #8806662Carolyn J. Connolly August 07, 2010
The Aussie Galah (variously referred to as Cacatua roseicapilla AND Eolophus roseicapilla!) is a most distinctive bird of the cockatoo family, isn't it, Pat?!! :o)

Your capture here of this bird gathering grass seeds, or maybe water, is a really lovely scene!! Often, of a fine afternoon, a number of Galahs will forage on the open back lawn of our neighbour's yard!! It's great to see!! :o) #8811888
