Assorted Pets



Pics of the birds for Hazel and Nic. The pink and grey galahs and green lorikeets. They are all noisy buggers. We have lorikeets in our garden most mornings and beleive me they are better than an alarm clock! The galahs are incredibly sociable and hang out in huge gangs so you rarely see one on its own. We took these photos when we went to a pub in the hills outside perth. There were birds and kangaroos everywhere! One of the kangaroos had a joey in her pouch. Very odd watching it's tummy move around like something out of Alien!
There are always loads of pelicans around the place. They are either paddling in the Swan River or flying in circles just riding the thermals. I think they are so cute and when they open their mouths it's like another universe has just opened up!
