Galah at the park

in smartphonephotography •  7 years ago 

Today I went down to the park just down the road from me to train for a few hours. It was a bit windy so I couldn’t really train much as it was just blowing the ballcaround😂. About 20 minutes after arriving at the park I noticed a Galah chewing on the grass about 10 meters away so I wanted to see if it would let me get closer.

I managed to get close enough to touch him but he was still very aware of me and watched me as he continued grazing in the grass.

I’ve never really gotten this close to a wild Galah before so it was quite an amazing experience. I was surprised I was able to get so close to it, and it not fly away or try to bite me.

Once again hope everyone had another super day and also Happy Australia Day for everyone that celebrates it for tomorrow 🎉🎈.
