HomeHow come a gentle galah?Sep 2, 2006
Galahs are the commonest birds where I live. They are quite beautiful, but often maligned.

“It is one of the most common and widespread cockatoos, and it can be found in open country in almost all parts of mainland Australia.”

“Its distinctive pink and grey plumage and its bold and loud behaviour make it a familiar sight in the bush and increasingly in urban areas.”

“Galahs have a bouncing acrobatic flight, but spend much of the day sheltering from heat in the foliage of trees and shrubs. The voice is a distinctive high-pitched screech, 'chi-chi'.”

“A grey-backed, pink breasted inland parrot, gregarious and noisy, destructive and useless, and considered to be 'as silly as a square wheel'.”

“Galah: Noisy parrot, thus noisy idiot.”

“Galah: Stupid but flashy person. Politician.”

It’s time to revive the reputation of this delightful bird.

Screen id ___CaptainSensible, you are very much showing your foolishness of character. I am not responsible for your behaviour. I would like to think that Ms. Galah does not view your abuse either as a joke.

Hello, I am Ms. Belsito. I learned about you, if I have the right person, through one of Mr.Lawson's sites. It seems you like for others to meet others through your contact addresses. I did send off requests. You are welcomed to e-mail me at your convenience, if you would like to at various times. Marisa_Belsito@Hotmail.com

Enjoy yourself in Mongolia. Just think, now, when people scoff at your not being in the loop and say "Where have you been? Outer Mongolia?", you can say "Yes!".
