Galahs are a common sight around here but not right in my yard. However, the other day I looked over the fence and there were some feeding in the long grass next door.
Before I got very close they flew up into the big pine tree. This one started preening its feathers but kept a close eye on me all the time.

Galahs --- my favourite cockies. (Apart from all the other ones!) Lovely pics.
somehow it looks like a dove, is it?
Another wondrous sight. Strange and beautiful to my eye! Sandy Straights and Beyond is a treasure trove of the unusual. Thanks for the pictures!
What a beautiful bird. It would be amazing to see them as close as you were to them. Great work.
Unusual colours. Lovely photos.
A beautiful bird, the Galah! Great photos!
A beautiful parrot! Pink and grey, what elegant colors!
Very nice images... a beautiful bird... thanks for dropping by to visit my Sharp-shinned hawk! :-) (have been to Australia but only to Sydney, Blue Mountains and Depot Beach... MUST go back)
Love your "common" birds. This one looks very exotic.
The closest I will probably ever come to one of these guys is in a pet store! Be happy your "common" birds are so cool!
Galahs are gorgeous! I've seen huge flocks in documentaries and it's amazing but I also heard they can destroy cultivated fields...
