Last night out at the Western Treatment Plant, I saw two Galahs feeding on 
Scotch Thistle!  Galah's aren't all that common at the WTP, so i'd assume 
they came just to feed on the Thistle.

[Birding-Aus] Galahs and Christmas Bush
Hi Janet,
Once the Christmas Bush goes red, that is a sign that the fruit has formed 
and the Galahs would be eating the green seeds. What adaptive birds Galahs 
are, their original habitat of inland Australia prior to settlement, did 
not 
include this bush, but then it did not include Gosord Wattle Acaia 
prominans, or many other plants that you see them feeding on these days on 
the Central Coast. Same goes for Long-billed Corellas!
