We just had 12 ml in 20 minutes at Balhannah, complete with thunder and lightning and one very scared dog – BUT – delightful sight (impossible to capture) of a young galah, only 3 or so weeks old, experiencing rain for the first time in its life. It flapped its wings frenetically, hung upside down on the branch, screeched, jiggled up and down, twisting its body from one side to other at frantic speed, all in delight, while its parents looked on approvingly and made encouraging noises themselves. At the same time the 4 little piping shrikes, huddled together in their large cup-shaped nest, probably wished that they’d taken their first flight yetserday, and not waited under the over-arching tree trunk whioch dripped torrents onto their not-yet-ready feathers. Poor little mites! They appear to have survived, and I’m sure will be perching on the edge of the nest in a minute, practising their flying movements. They need to get it right, as the nest is directly over my dam – and I don’t fancy wading in after them if they fall, as it’s disgustingly muddy on the bottom and very steep. Hope nature prevails here! PS Some hours later, still pouring, and the parent bird is now perched over the babies, wings spread, protecting them from the torrents. The other parent is doing double feeding duty … isn’t nature grand after all!
One of the regular visitors to our garden, this Galah was in a flirtaceous mood!!
I took a lot of photographs of galahs for this exhibition. This peice is a collage of photos of galahs printed on canvas with barbed wire.
Been a bit busy lately but I thought I’d add this just for a splash of colour… :)
These birds were seen on a tree in a swampy area in outback New South Wales. Modified with Gimp.

The galah, a familiar pink and grey cockatoo, is widely ditrubuted throughout most of Australia with heavier concentrations in Western Australia. This particular bird sits at the very-most top of a large tree to get a birds-eye-view of the surroundings.

I don’t think this galah was too impressed by me taking pictures of him and his loved one…..
Nikon Coolpix P80 Off to feed the neighbour’s cat I found this beauty enjoying a feed from a New South Wales Christmas Bush at my home at Denhams Beach on the south coast of New South Wales. Galah : Cacatua roseicapilla / Family: Cacatuidae / Order: Psittaciformes The Galah has recently become widely known as the Rose-breasted Cockatoo and can be easily identified by its rose-pink head, neck and underparts, with paler pink crown, and grey back, wings and undertail. Birds from the west of Australia have comparatively paler plumage. Galahs have a bouncing acrobatic flight, but spend much of the day sheltering from heat in the foliage of trees and shrubs. Huge noisy flocks of birds congregate and roost together at night. The Galah is one of the most abundant and familiar of the Australian parrots, occurring over most of Australia, including some offshore islands and is found in large flocks in a variety of timbered habitats, usually near water. Galahs form huge, noisy flocks which feed on seeds, mostly from the ground. Seeds of grasses and cultivated crops are eaten, making these birds agricultural pests in some areas. Birds may travel large distances in search of favourable feeding grounds. They are becoming more abundant around areas of human habitation, with the growth in population largely a result of increasing availability of food and water. Escaped aviary birds have also contributed to these numbers. Galahs form permanent pair bonds, although a bird will take a new partner if the other one dies. The nest is a tree hollow or similar location, lined with leaves. Both sexes incubate the eggs and care for the young. There is high chick mortality in Galahs, with up to 50 % of chicks dying in the first six months. Galahs have been recorded breeding with other members of the cockatoo family, both in the wild and captivity. These include the Sulphur-crested Cockatoo, C. galerita.
