Advertisement Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Hi antistatic, Take a look here Galahs at dawn. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Neil Macmillan Posted January 23, 2009 Share #2 Posted January 23, 2009 Thanks for the memories of my trip to Australia. I can almost hear the sound. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
antistatic Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted January 23, 2009 Actually they are sulphur crested cockatoos (but it was too late to change the title of the thread). They are also capable of lots of noise Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted January 24, 2009 Share #4 Posted January 24, 2009 David - To really hear what sulphur crested cockatoos can sound like go to Geike Gorge: At least hundreds of them roosting and gabbing. In our first trip to Oz we were very taken with galahs, but were soon told to ignore them since they are as common and bothersome to Aussies as pidgeons are to us. However, I've always wanted to call somebody a silly galah, and tell some Aussies that my occupation is bush ranger. Never did, but in a note to a professor friend at McQuarrie warning her to get out of town because the "Bloody Yanks" were coming back, I includced fake wanted posters of Barbara and me, and mentioned in the note that our friend was Ned Kelly's great great grand daughter. She showed our note to colleauges who then thought she really was related. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

antistatic Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share #6 Posted January 24, 2009 Stuart, we are all related to Ned Kelly however distantly I also seem to remember great numbers of the cockatoos at Geike Gorge however they are widespread throughout the Northwest.
