The Galah bird is related to the cockatoos and will breed with them. They are very difficult to photograph. They seem to sense the moment when you are about to click the shutter, and the whole flock rises up screeching. Joan has assiduously stalked them, camera in hand, but could not get close enough for a decent photo. She used the super-zoom, but that blurs the picture and reduces the light. So we went to Wikipedia and cut and pasted a couple of pictures.

I imagine you're about ready to start back - to the land of cold and snow! It's been fun following you around. It's my own view that all small dogs should be eliminated, perhaps fed to the wallabies.
