Greetings from our galahs sisters,
Thelma & Louise. 💕 Rose-breasted cockatoos are know for their daring
flight maneuvers. In Australia, galah is also a commonly used slang for
“fool,” probably because of these birds’ comical antics. They hang from
perches upside-down, slide down telephone wires, and mimic the sounds
of other animals and human speech.
Carrion Crows(Corvus corone)are normally jet black, whereas this individual has what is called Leucism, which is caused by a lack in the development of the pigment Melanin.
Leucistic animals differ greatly from each other, even if they are of the same species, as some can have a greater lack of pigment and be pure white, but still retain normal skin and eye colour, and so then are not Albino, or they could have a solitary patch of fur or a feather that is white.
This bird was photographed by me when I was on holiday in Sheffield, in north England in 2011.

did you know that this bird is endangered? They are hunted for the horn on their head. The females will not leave the nest with their chick. They are 100% dependent on the male for food. So when they hunt them down and kill the male, often times the entire family will die 😦
And my sweet little vinegaroon, Vinny is the best model I swear lmao. I have never loved an arachnid so much!
My two morons. They’re different species and their species are native to different continents but that doesn’t stand in the way of true (one-sided) love. Bailey follows Loki around, preening her, and in return Loki hisses at her and ignores her. Best girlfriend ever.
Bailey (~9 year old Peach-Faced Lovebird) & Loki (12-year-old cockatiel)
The grebes are usually so skittish so I was pretty happy to capture a few photos of this juvenile. The Green Heron is still around. Not sure when/if they will migrate.
