Hi
Yes we had a large eucalypt and
the galahs used to bark it regularly. I was worried they would kill the tree
and perhaps they did contribute to its demise.

Subject: [canberrabirds] Tree damage caused by Galahs
My husband saw a Galah cause the damage shown on
the gum tree on enclosed photo. The tree is in a neighbour's garden. It appears
to have been caused by only one bird and the tree is a brittle gum (Eucalyptus
mannifera). The main damage extends a fair way round the tree both sides but I
could see that it did not extend right round it. Has anyone seen Galahs
or other birds doing this?
