Birdorable 189: Galah

July 20, 2009 in New Birds, Parrots and Parakeets and Birdorable Bonanza 2009 with 5 comments

Today's 189th Birdorable is this Birdorable Galah, also known as the Rose-breasted Cockatoo or Pink and Grey. It is a widespread parrot in Australia, where it can be commonly seen in the bush as well as urban areas such as Perth and Melbourne. Wow, I can't imagine having such colorful birds visit our backyard feeders.

Until the 31st of July we'll be adding a new bird every day as part of our Birdorable Bonanza until we reach #200 at the end of this month. Here's a preview of tomorrow's bird:

PENGUIN! Really! I'm not into owls anymore. Do not look at the previous comment. I'm into penguins now. What I wrote wasn't true, except for the "I love you" part. Rockhopper penguin, probably.
