Hello Birding-Aus people,

One of my most joyful memories of a childhood in Central-Western NSW is the 
sight of
flocks of many hundreds, perhaps even a thousand, of Galahs flying in wheeling 
flocks
illuminated by the setting sun. How and why birds behave this way has long been 
an unknown.
Today's Guardian has an article of interesting research which throws some light 
on this behaviour.

Cheers,
