This morning Samantha returned from walking the neighbour's dog and
reported she'd found a road-killed galah that bore a blue plastic wingtag.
"I couldn't get the wingtag off so I put it in the fork of a tree. We'll go
back with the wire snippers and get the tag."
Back at said tree there was no galah. "Are you sure this was the tree?" I
said. "I'm certain," she replied.
"Are you sure the bird was dead? Maybe it got better and left," I
suggested.
"Don't be silly! But there was a young boy watching and I told him to leave
it alone." Hmm!
Anyhow, Sam said the wingtag read M-5 or possibly M-S. Are there any
galah-taggers out there?
