Sharing these pink birds because they give me joy and I hope to spread it around a little.

@alexpsmith Galahs were my "spark bird" that got me into birding as a hobby. I don't live around any of them anymore, so seeing this picture did indeed bring me joy. :v)

@jendefer @alexpsmith I don't know if that is a curse or a blessing. By not living with them, it becomes special to see them again. Where I live they are as ubiquitous as pigeons are in big cities and I get kind of blasé about them. Every now and I stop and watch their antics and remind myself how special it is to have such amazing birds sharing my town with me.

@alexpsmith was going to guess Galahs. My friend once pointed out he thought they looked like ice creams.

@alexpsmith They are cute but they are also pretty stupid. There's a reason why "galah" is synonymous with "idiot" in Strine.

It shows very clearly: animals as well as humans are feeling, sentient beeings.

@alexpsmith Birds, when they find out that feathers are fluffy.

@alexpsmith for a while I lived where we had a hundred of those swirling around in the sky above us, or perched in the trees around us. Galahs are just magical.
