The Local birds (Lorikeets, Cockatoos & Rosellas) dropped by our front & back garden, that Dad & Mum had so nicely & painstakingly taken care of during their visit to Australia. These particular ones are of The Australian Galah. The Galah is one of the most abundant and familiar of the Australian parrots, found in large flocks, in a variety of timbered habitats, usually near water. It occurs over most of Australia, including some offshore islands, and is becoming more abundant round areas of human habitation. 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'. Huge noisy flocks of birds congregate and roost together at night.
