Two galahs, visiting

Two galahs, visiting, Gordon, NSW

 

I like their 'bookend' pose! These are my husband's favourite bird, and it's not just the colour scheme! The babies will deafen you though.

 

Galahs are parrots (scientific name Eolophus roseicapillus) and you can hear their call here, at www.birdsinbackyards.net/species/Eolophus-roseicapillus, where it is described as "a distinctive high-pitched screech, 'chi-chi'." The babies' 'feed me' call is much more raucous.
