I was laying on my stomach in the local shopping centre carpark to get this shot. I got a few funny looks from fellow shoppers, but the pay off was a few nice shots!
This galah is female because the eye is pink - and the male with her had a black eye. The crest raising was her way of saying "OK enough pictures now already - back away crazy lady"
Fabulous capture. I love Galahs, we used to have a flock in a Tipuana tree in our back garden in Perth, I never needed an alarm clock, the din they made at sunrise was incredible! Big FAVE
Isn't she gorgeous. I didn't know about the colour of the eyes to determine males and females. I will have to look out for that next time a bunch of galahs are in my garden.
Too bad someone didn't get a photo of the photographer on this one! Still and all it is a magnificent photo and I love that low POV. I have never seen this kind of a bird before. She is a beauty
