Friday Feathers

I photographed this Galah Cockatoo at a zoo. The bird is found in open country in almost all parts of mainland Australia.

This bird is easily identified by its rose-pink head, neck and underparts, with paler pink crown, and grey back, wings and undertail. Galahs have a bouncing acrobatic flight, but spend much of the day sheltering from heat in the foliage of trees and shrubs.

what a shame about the cage - otherwise yet another superb photo!
