their wide-eyed expressions, broad curved beaks and crazy cacophanous communities.
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: Love birds look at visitors at the zoo Photograph: Ali Jarekji/Reuters guardian 24 hours in pictures
a driving holiday, cruising the south coast of nsw and travelling inland to melbourne via canberra reveals that
there are a lot of parrots about.
so many cockatoos and corellas in canberra! swarms of them.
and at almost every beach i went to i would see a pair of galahs
galahs make me happy. it's such an onomatopoeic name, galah!
it reminds me of paul hogan in his ripped shirt and shorts days, calling idiots galahs. come to think of it, paul hogan had lots of good words: drongo, thickhead.
galahs on an aerial, giving a whole new parrot-mad definition to birds on a wire
seeing parrots lifts my spirits and plucks my heart-strings
i've always thought it would be nice to have love birds
maybe call them thurston & luvvie
maybe call them thurston & luvvie
more lovers entwined,
