People would fall over laughing in the street if I told them you paid that much for a Galah. Here they are one step up from a budgie.
I really wish we could do something with our wildlife laws so our farmers could profit from the pests that destroy their crops. I could sit and watch a flock of Galahs all day. There is a small flock of about 200 of em living in the park near me. They mingle with Corellas and Major Mitchels. In the country they fly in flocks of several thousand.
Galah is the right term but here it is used as a generic term for any larger Too.
Corellas are called Lessor Corellas here, but you lot use a lot have a whole different bunch of names for them,(bared eyed etc).
Today I was lucky enough to have a green conure on my shoulder when I went to get some bird food at the pet store. He was the same size as Skippah but he was sooooo affectionate and playful I was wondering whats wrong with Skippah, who is quite standoffish and quiet all the time. He didnt want to get off my shoulder and walked up and down my arm singing and dancing and trying to please me so he could stay with me. I am thinking I want a bird that isn't considered a pest here. We need to organize an international egg swapping scheme.
