Pink and Grey Galahs

I see a pair of Pink and Greys They fly on by my way They seem to be so filled with health To me they do have so much wealth They're so majestic in the sky As I see them flying by And when they land upon a branch It really puts me in a trance Trays of seed I have for them On which upon they land Such a lovely sight to see I could almost feed them from my hand I love to see them feeding there As the seed these two birds share

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts on galahs through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

G'day Vera... oh yes, galahs. If you want more of them; plant an almond tree. I don't think we appeciate the galah as visitors do. They see the soft pink and gray as unusual and beautiful whereas we have grown up with them... the galah is truly a beaut cockatoo and I can tell that you do appreciate them with your sonnet. Thanks Vera-Lindsay

Well done with this exquisite write, Vera! You have the same love for nature and its inhabitants that Peter has. Bird watching can be so satisfying...pity that some hunters/trappers are indiscriminate in what they go after. Have a lovely weekend. // paul

Robert my dear friend, thank you so much for reading this, actually the inspiration for this one came to me by looking on my shelf in my lounge as I have a pair of Pink and Greys sitting there, so not only do we have the real outside and a fake one in side, take care my friend..............Vera..................

Thank you so much Anne Lise, yes it is beautiful sitting having a cup of coffee and watching the birds, in fact at 2pm every afternoon we sit outside and watch the wild birds, my canaries and the gold fish in our large pond and with it being spring they are all chasing each other getting ready to breed, it is beautiful, take care my dear friend....................Vera...........
