Birds are lucky.
They can fly away.
So when life gets you down,
why not be a bird?
You don’t need wings to fly!
Cheers to you from Australia’s gorgeous Galahs~

There is no doubt that there are gaps in our life that we can fill with an imaginary journey on the wings of Galahs. Its multicolored plumage will illuminate the way to find a sunbeam and will clear our sadness.
The photos are wonderful. We can contemplate the birds in their greatest splendor.
Your poem could not be better with that spectacular frame in each verse.

This is beautiful Manuel. And, yes I would often like to fly away, thankfully we can do so frequently in our imaginations. Be well my friend & thank you~
Your verses make words speak. A very good week for you Cyndi.
Manuel
Same to you my friend & thank you.
You are welcome
What a gorgeous bird! It looks like a black and white image that has had red added back in.
Yes, subtle pastel colors, so lovely 🐤
Wow! Love that pink! <3
They are the most fashionable of birds 🐤
🙂
It is an excellent option to have. Just fly away whenever you want.
Cheers
I would do so regularly, ooops, gotta fly…. 😉
Great photos! Love their bi-coloured body.
Thank you & happy you do! Cheers 🐤
They are so lovely and yes, I often say to hubby, “I wish I could fly. What fun it would be.” 😃
And imagine taking flight the next time someone annoyed you!
What a magnificently-plumed creature! If I had those colors, I wouldn’t fly away, I’d just sit in front of a mirror and admire myself.
Yes. Me too. I would be a galah ready for a gala every night!
😀 Yes!
<3
Thank you for this, Cindy. I had never heard of these birds. They sure have lots of poses, and character.
They certainly do and they are curious about the human watching them!
Wow! What a beauty <3
Aren’t they lovely creatures!
Yes, they really are. Birds have definitely become my favorite 🙂
I’m glad <3
How beautiful!😍
I love these birds, both their looks and personalities 🐤
I just saw a few of these cockatoo this weekend. But they were in a zoo. They have a nice home in a large free flight aviary with some cockatiel. You can go inside with them and feed them. They land allover you to get a snack. It was fun.
I would love that! I saw big flocks of galahs last time I was in Oz. I had never seen them before and was entranced. This time I only saw them once.
Ahh…cockatoodle dooos! Lovely tweethearts! (⑅´•⌔•`)*✲ﾟ*｡•*¨*•.¸¸♪(•ө•)♡♡♡♡♡
Laughing…..sweet! ♡´･ᴗ･`♡
That is a really gorgeous bird.
Aren’t they lovely. I like their personalities too.
You surely have been endowed with a great talent in photography, especially with birds, Cindy.
Awww, honored Peter. Thank you very much & cheers my friend.
Never heard of galahs before. Beautiful!
So happy to introduce you and most pleased you like them! Cheers to you~
Lovely photos. Glad you got to see the Galahs when you were in Australia. I’ve only seen about 20 at a time in the tiny park near me, but I’ve been told there are flocks in the hundreds out in the countryside. Now that….would be wonderful sight.
When I was there about 11 years ago, I walked out one morning to a huge flock on the lawn. It was the first time I had seen them and I fell in love. This time I went looking for them. Such beautiful creatures <3

Really beautiful birds, Cindy 😀
I am happy you <3 them Irene and thank you!
I have just completed my flying lessons – my wings are looking quite elegant.
Let us fly then, you and I <3

<3 🦜
Bonjour, quelle beauté ! Quel talent aussi pour offrir de telles photographies. Merci
J’apprécie votre commentaire réfléchi. Merci beaucoup et bravo à vous <3
They look gorgeous!
Yes they are <3
I have watched the birds as they lift and ‘float’ on currents of wind and have been a wee bit jealous. 🙂
The hawks soar at eye level at The Holler and I am always jealous <3
I get it.
<3
I love birds. And these are so beautiful. Thanks 🙂
I <3 people who <3 🦜🦜!

I have never heard of this bird before. So lovely! Beautifully captured.

Such a noble, colourful soul, Cindy.

I am so happy you see this!!! <3
I have never seen even the pictures of this bird. Thank you for sharing Cindy. I agree with you… we don’t need wings, our words make us fly. 🙂
And our imaginations <3
Stunning colors on these birds, Cindy, love the pink and gray combo!
Aren’t they lovely. The Galahs are dressed for a gala! 😉
Ooh, stunning birdies, Cindy! Their rose and gray colors are so distinctive, and they look so regal!
Nice catch, Cindy!
Grazie mille 🦜
Love their expressions, Cindy! Fly safely! 🙂 🙂
Visa versa Jo & thank you <3 🦜
🤗💕
They are so beautiful! In my next life I either want to be a bird or a cat or a wild horse… 😉
I like your choices! <3
These birds are absolutely stunning, and you won’t believe where I saw them on TV last night: The Bachelor! That’s right. I’m watching that show because one of the finalists is from my city: Knoxville, TN. The location for this next-to-final episode was Australia, and the birds were shown more than once. Since I had never seen them, I looked really closely at them. You’ve given me a MUCH better photo of them!
Oh how amazing is that and quite a coincidence! Thank you for such a thoughtful comment & cheers 🦜
A strange looking bird but it is a beautiful one!
Happy you see the beauty. Be well my friend <3
They are indeed these are ones I’ve never seen before…I also love to fly away ☺️ thanks for sharing Cindy 🤓💫 smiles Hedy
Smiles back to you Hedy & wishes for a safe flight <3 🦜
No flying plans at this moment though…🤓
Beautiful bird. Think I’ll take the advice and…. fly away without wings.
You do it every time your flights of fancy help you design your gorgeous pieces <3
<3
These birds are lovely.
I <3 people who <3 🦜🦜!
Oh my god. ❤ Beauty !
Yes indeed <3 🦜
How beautiful, Cindy, thank you! I am instantly inspired by the wonderful colours of these lovely birds – a great excuse for a new knitting project! 💕
Thank you Liz and I can imagine your project. It is an especially lovely color combination.
We need look no further than nature itself for all the ideas we can handle! Keep safe on all your travels xxx
So true Liz. We are not traveling now. We are hunkering down at The Holler. Stay well my friend <3
That’s good to hear, Cindy. What an idyllic place to be isolated in (which is probably ‘business as usual’ for you there!). Xxx
Oz is an idyllic place for me and aptly nicknamed. I am home, hiding out at The Holler now, growing my sweet peas and nasturtiums. Be well Liz & take care <3
True words and such a beautiful colour combination.
Thank you Lakshmi and I love their subtle pastels too 🦜
Nice photographs! 😃
Thank you.
You’re welcome
<3
Oh wow, what a beautiful bird! Your images of it are wonderful. I love the detail around its eye, and the clarity is so good I can almost count the feathers!
Awww, thanks so much! You make me happy I posted 🦜
Their gray backs make that red breast stunning, Cuz. Are they a breed of parrot? ☘✨☘
Yes, they are a type of cockatoo which is in the parrot family. 🦜
They are indeed gorgeous! 🙂 Your bird photography is just as stunning as the birds themselves, Cindy. 💞🦜💞
Awwww, that is so incredibly kind. Thank you sincerely & be well <3
I wish if it would be possible! They have really nice natural make up. (Smiling!). Cindy, it looks you’ve visited the most impressive fashion show in Australia. All the birds are like models from the podium.
Yes! They are my kinda supermodel!!! <3 😉
What fantastical birds. Love!
Love back to you Dani & happy you like them <3
How utterly gorgeous captures, what a beautiful bird, Cindy!
Thank you! I love them too <3
What a beautiful bird, Cindy. I saw a photo on someone’s blog of a Strawberry Finch! Nature just gob smacks me. 😉 I would like nothing better than to fly away and see things all over the world. But I get to do it in my recliner thanks to you and many like you sharing the wonders of the world with us. You are doing a good service. Remember that always.
I’ve never seen such a bird before! Beautiful. I think the colors will inspire me in my own color scheme for creative works. 🙂
I think Mother Nature outdid herself with the galah’s color scheme and I am glad it is inspiring you to create your own! (｡♥‿♥｡)
Yes! 😍 there’s a blogger whose fashion is inspired by animals she sees in nature. It’s remarkable
Awwww…..so nice! I love a kindred spirit. Thank you my friend & cheers <3
Such beauties! Thank you, Cindy!!
You are very welcome Jennie & take good care my friend <3
Take care and stay well, Cindy. ❤️
They are so pink! How adorable.
They are pretty in pink ♡´･ᴗ･`♡
I didn’t know such a beautiful, (you are right: gorgeous) bird existed. Thank you for sharing it n.n
Thank you for appreciating them & cheers to you ♡´･ᴗ･`♡
So pretty! <3
Aren’t they lovely creatures. I am pleased you like them.
Such beautiful birds. That red! What do they sound like?
They have a typical parrot hoarse call sound along with chirps and squacks. You can usually find parrots if you can’t see them by their groups hoarse calls.
Cindy-
Like the birds, your talent also flies!
Your images are endlessly exquisite.
And birds, I find myself staring at them more and more envying their freedom of flight as I refill the bird feeders in my yard.
Awwww, such a kind and thoughtful comment. Thank you! I am glad you are feeding the birds and watching them fly. Your soul flies with them (♡´❍`♡)
Ah, to fly would be something🧚🏽♂️
and thank you-for your kind words back, Cindy❤️stay safe
