Default Sharing the green grass

Just a few Galahs sharing the nice green grass.

Galahs or Rose Cockatoos-2

we would share the seat, if we could just land on it.

I was going to crop this photo but I loved the vast blue sky.

Great set Michelle. These are beautiful creatures. And don't you dare crop no 3, that is a great portrayal of negative space and truly enhances the pic. PAUL

What lovely birds Michelle! and these are wild cockatoo's? They are all very good, but I like the one against the blue sky and the last one best.
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.

Wow you said you had no green grass and here it is. Those birds are a lovely colour. and your captures are all excellent. I'm so glad you never cropped the third one. That is a very special photograph. Woderful composition and super contrast along with a perfect freeze frame.. A wall hanger for sure. I hope your grass stays green..

Dave.

A lovely series of galah shots there Michelle. I love the third shot, both the blue sky and the action shot of the galah in flight.

It's great to see the a nice big flock there too, I can just imagine the noise they must have made.
