'Got any more', she asks!!
Oh yes Hester, there's more... lots more. At a rough guess I would say thousands... no... tens of thousands...
Yes guys, there will be more... oh so much more... you're going to get sick of it all...

I'm probably going to upset you here Sunny, but in much of the country Galahs are considered to be almost pests. Let me tell you, I've personally seen flocks of Galahs that are in the hundreds... it's not a rare sight. And these are large birds that like to eat seed and grain. Farmers can lose a whole crop in a couple of days if a large flock of Galahs are about. They're not well liked in rural areas.
They are cute little buggers though. They just love to play... and they do make great pets.
