Galahs

This post is for World Bird Wednesday.

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.

    What a beautiful bird! I've found a huge book called "Every Australian Bird Illustrated" in my workplace's library. Striking bird life you have over there,mick!

    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...
