The resident Galah showing an interest in newspapers – Naremburn, NSW, 1974
In the early 70’s, when we lived in Naremburn, Joost Brouwer gave us a Galah to look after. Very entertaining, but not a bird we would keep in a cage today… One day he flew away, preferring freedom over the daily newspaper…
Our dirty little secret is that, we had one at home as a companion when we lived in the City . Mind you, their voice is pretty loud when it competes with the TV … Anyway, we accidentally left the front door open and it deserted us! When we moved to Blaxland, we learnt to enjoy birds in the bush, except for the cockatiel which turned up one day…
