Date: 2004-03-03 10:05 pm (UTC)Have you seen galahs in the wild yet? They are my favorite cockatoos! How about corellas or budgies?
We have a Congo African Grey parrot, his kind is native to Western Africa; here is a short Quicktime film of them in the wild, it has sound also! Enjoy.

Re: Aussie Birds!
Date: 2004-03-04 05:47 am (UTC)Galahs are common as nuts here, to the point of being pests in some places, as are corellas. Wild budgies are only in the desert areas so I haven't seen anywhere near as many of them.
