Interesting points being made here about Corellas and Galahs. They rarely
receive very positive publicity because of the farmer-friendly ethos of the
Australian political and cultural milieu. Unfortunately for the birds, this
means that many people have become quite comfortable taking extermination into
their own hands: for instance, in the Lake Macquarie area recently there was a
mass bird kill around a place called Blackalls Park.
here's a link to a news story about this.

The rumour is that someone did this because of the "noise" of the birds.
