I can't see a single corella in this photo.
ReplyDeleteThey are all married ones with really big families.
Is that a single gay galah then or is he just a trans-gender cross dresser (second wire from top of pole four along).
ReplyDeleteI notice that on the left they are fairly spaced apart but on the right they are firmly together.......hmmm...
DeleteGreat wit from you all - something I don't possess.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is: "Oh, what a galah! - no wonder they equate his kind with folly.
Then again, maybe method in his madness: perhaps he's transgressed and in 'on the run' and thought there might be safety in numbers.
Maybe pink is the new black. Or white.
ReplyDeleteAdded a few more photos to the Where's Wally post.
ReplyDeleteCockatoos & parrots are a colourful bunch & together with their antics make for some good photos. Follow the links from where some of these photos were sourced from for more.
Sorry Dale I inadvertently led the flock to another post (Desal plant). Maybe you could chase them back here where they belong.
ReplyDeleteBirds of a feather ....

ReplyDeletePerhaps that little lone galah in the photo was valiantly distancing himself from all that 'vandalism' wreaked by those galahs in the far west!!
