Oh, those dratted galahs, at home I want to shoot then and on holidays I can't he;p but photograph them. Talk about split personality! I too love the Flinders and could happily live there. The var. Fairy Wren is from a station on the flats just East of the N.Flinders ranges. I am so glad one can stay on the occasional station up there.
Hi Carole I love the Galahs whether they are feeding on the ground or up a tree. Great shots. I have asked Pete why the Galahs were in the news, so I hope he answers. Margaret
they are an amazing colour aren't they?! Roy: you made me think "strawberry mousse" - for the first time ever. Diane b: I am now using a new camera and in experimental stages with it; will add details to my blog-sider soon. Pete Shanley: Margaret A. emailed me the link to the 'news item' - for anyone else reading here, the galahs alongwith cockatoos have been causing power-outages in a rural area of Qld - because of the drought they are there in big numbers, set onto the power lines to roost and when spooked or leaving, they send the lines smashing against one another. Everyone: goodness knows when and where it started but part of our Aussie Slang terms includes the word Galah in a derogatory fashion, suggesting someone is 'stupid' or 'silly'.
Great shots - I too like the one that also showcases the scribbly gum. Thanks for sharing that news item too. I expect that we will soon have a Bird Fee added to our electricity bills here in Queensland.
thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.

Hi Carole,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful series of photos of this beautiful bird.
These birds are here only in a zoo.
Regards, Irma
Hi! Nice captures. Very beautiful photos. I am very imoressed. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHmm Galahs are topical at the moment - They're in the news tonight!
ReplyDeleteNice shots Carole - I particularly like seeing the scribbly gum bark!
Peter

ReplyDeletethey know how well gray and rose go together, don't they? such beauties!!!
ReplyDeleteThose galahs are just so amazingly pink Carole. Seems strange to me here in the UK that you can have a bright pink bird!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of one of my favourite Australian birds!
ReplyDeleteOdd for the likes of me to see these in the wild when usually they are in pet shops and behind wire mesh cages in zoos here in the States.
ReplyDeleteI still find beautiful birds Carole and certainly they also fly in the wild with you!
ReplyDeleteWhat colours!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and I like the ones on the smooth barked trees - angophora and scribbly gums. Galahs certainly seem to prefer these trees.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bird, and very well captured!
ReplyDelete:)
I swear...a dream of mine would be to travel to Australia and go birding!!
ReplyDeleteYou lucky ones have the most beautiful and unusual birds. This one is certainly gorgeous.
So beautiful and colourful birds!
ReplyDeleteVery nice photos!
Thanks for your comment!
Greetings Pia
I love your Galah bird! Pretty colors and cute too! Awesome shots, Carole!
ReplyDeleteLots of them around this year.
ReplyDeleteMerle.
That's what you call a Birds-eye-view. beautiful captures Carole.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous birds! I like the soft colors! Really nice shots!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful birds you've got Carole.
ReplyDeleteThey are a pretty stupid bird. Love your photos. That is a great camera and photographer of course.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness - the birds AND your shots are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhat subtle colors on these beautiful birds!
ReplyDeleteSplendid photographs.
For me, the trees are also very interesting and add a unique textural element.
Hope you have a great weekend!
They are beautiful birds. Love all their pink/rose color.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Carole, such beautiful birds and great photos!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing colour Carole. Looks like a washed cranberry or some kind of strawberry pudding.

ReplyDeletewhat a cool looking bird. We have nothing of the sort where I live. Love to see it.
ReplyDeleteFabulous shots of these beautiful birds!
ReplyDeleteIts great to see these beautiful birds living free in their native wild habitat, and not in a cage like so many captive birds do.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots Carole.
He or she can fly into to my place anytime. I will have them with open arms. Oh the color is Wow!
ReplyDeleteOh beautiful. beautiful!
Thank you for sharing the last birds so pretty. I might have told you that once well now you know twice I indeed adore them.
