My Bad..

My bad .. the 'black parrots' I wrote of, should have been black cockatoos. Anyway, it wasn't then either!

The next morning when I awoke I could hear the bird noises still. Manages to catch a glimpse of one and it was a pink and grey galah!


Methinks this bird is where one of our Aussie slang terms comes from. If somone is acting the fool they might find themselves being called a 'galah'.

You only have to watch these birds mucking around for a short time to see why. It can be very humourous as they hand by one leg and just generally can make themselves look very foolish.

Thus endeth the lesson on Aussie slang!
