For once the parents were pretty relaxed (they can, understandably, get a bit stroppy when they have chicks).

Galahs are a type of cockatoo and are common over most of Australia.
Colloquially, galah also refers to a silly person, possibly from the birds habit of being very erratic when startled. -

You can see how well their colouring matches the kinds of environments they prefer.

There’s a new brood of ducklings at work (9 for those that count), however, two of them were left behind in a water feature (where I found them this morning).There’s a new brood of ducklings at work (9 for those that count), however, two of them were left behind in a water feature (where I found them this morning).
They were plaintively calling for their parents (who were nowhere to be found).
I’ve since been told they have been rescued from the pond, and we can only hope the parents and siblings turn up later today so they can be reunited.
