Bobby. HWW

Just after the cyclone, we were visited late by an adult male Galah. It was soon evident that he was near tame and I even ended up patting him on the back. We gave him some food but by the time he was finished, it was dark and he just flew up into our orange tree and as far as I know spent the night there.

 

He has become a beautiful regular, even seems to have his own little group of fans apart from us that is). Yesterday morning he was first in for breakfast eating from the trays that Jenny was taking out before she even set them down!

 

He arrived late today at 10.00 am but we still gave him some breakfast. He will readily eat from our hands and didn't have to observe others doing it, confirming to us that he may be a lost pet.

 

That crinkley skin around the eye ring is called carunculation and changes colour a little with age.

 

Needless to say, Bobby has very quickly captured our hearts.

 

Happy Wing Wednesday our new little mate.
