Just a few PINK birdies from downunder in the land of Oz!
PINK Galahs (above) are found in all Australian states, and are absent only from the driest areas like the far north of Cape York Peninsula. It is still uncertain whether they are native to Tasmania, though there are records of them dating back to the 1840s. We often see them in our park across the road, and they are common in most urban areas.
The Major Mitchell's Cockatoo (female left & male right), are also known as Leadbeater's Cockatoo or PINK Cockatoo. It is a medium-sized bird restricted to arid and semi-arid inland areas of Australia.
The Spotted Dove with its puffy PINK chest and vibrant PINK tootsies, is native to eastern Asia, and was introduced into Australia in the mid 1800s to early 1900s. They are now a common sight throughout eastern Australia as well as major towns in southern and south-western Australia. We often see these birds nesting in the trees in our garden and they can be quite noisy when courting.
The pretty
PINK Robin is a small song bird, native to south-eastern Australia. Its natural habitats are cool temperate forests of far south-eastern Australia. I have only seen this bird IRL once in my life, when visiting the
Otway National Park. Even though it's brightly coloured, its tiny so you are more likely to hear it, than to see it.
Do you have any PINK birds in your country? If you do, I'd love to see them.
Big hugs,
