Artist's Comments

The Galah is a new visitor to my garden and indeed to Frankland. I heard of its arrival a few weeks ago and this family of three found the extra parrot food and water dishes that I place round my garden.

The Galah is one of the most abundant and familiar of the Australian parrots, occurring over most of Australia, including some offshore islands. These birds are becoming more abundant around areas of human habitation, with the growth in population largely a result of increasing availability of food and water. Galah's form permanent pair bonds, although a bird will take a new partner if the other one dies. Galah's have been recorded breeding with other members of the cockatoo family, both in the wild and captivity. These include the Sulphur-crested Cockatoo, C. galerita.

so what are the offspring like when the galahs breed with other species? This is a wonderful shot with so much lovely colour and how lucky to capture the three of them together. Great work! What a beautiful bird they are.
We very occasionally get a galah or two but I have never seen a flock of them here.

How fortunate you are Eve, firstly to have such a beautiful garden and secondly to have visitors such as these, they're stunning, I must say......................

Lovely colours and lovely capture Eve :clap: :clap: I am so surprised to learn you don't have them there all the time, just gobsmacked really :faint: They are so ubiquitous in most places. They are so common in all the places I have lived, that people don't even care for them at all. I love them too, as they are such delightful characters, and in captivitity they learn to talk, sing, dance, everything. We always had galahs and corellas in a big avaries out in the backyard when I was a kid. (only ever one or two at a time though so they had plenty of room!). They're just beautiful and I love that you have showed them in all their beauty.
