Hi Margaret,

This is an older bird- look at it's eye ring.

Looks to me that it has beak and feather disease.

If you are ever able to catch it let me know and I will pick it up.  

Cheers,
Marg

This galah, so young it still has downy fluff all over, was at my place yesterday alone and feeding itself.  No parents to mollycoddle this one.  He was roaming the suburbs alone again today, but is streetwise enough to get a decent feed.  Is this degree of independence when barely fully fledged unusual?
