Sky Dancer

They celebrate rain with aerial cartwheels - tumbling through air like feathered gymnasts!
Bulldozer Beak

They dig up roots with powerful beaks while standing on one foot - like pink feathered excavators.
City Slicker

They've mastered traffic patterns, safely crossing roads by hopping between cars at red lights!
Silly Billy

Australians call foolish people 'galahs' because these birds do hilarious things like hanging upside down just for fun!
Lovebirds

Partners preen each other daily and share food - they even blush pinker when reunited after separations!
