I love these aussie birds... they 'waddle' on the ground, feeding, and when they fly they dont glide or fly in formation, they tend to look like they are drunk!!

Cool. I believe that's the first time I've ever seen a photo of those birds.

Thanks for sharing,

They sort of look like our pigeons, but prettier.

Beautiful pictures Gabes!

It reminds me of a cockatiel. I had trained one eons ago and it was the most lovey bird ever. The red marking are beautiful.

I take that back. I watched the You Tube video and the galah is a lot prettier than our pigeons. That was so cute.

Thanks, Gabes. I would love to see them in the wild but doubt I'll ever get Down Under. The birds look a lot like cockatoos of some kind. Beautiful.
