Driving home today, Lucy and I found a Galah / Short-billed Corella Cross feeding enthusiastically with a group of Galahs on the NW corner of Fyshwick Markets. After watching it for a few moments, we approached it (and spoke to it) to determine if it was tame, however it immediately responded with wild-type behaviour. In fact it appeared to be even more wary than its accompanying Galahs by remaining several metres away from us at all times before flying off.

The bird was quite handsome, with a white back and light pink from. It was noticeably bulkier than the Galahs.
