"The galah also known as the pink and grey cockatoo or rose-breasted cockatoo, is the only species within genus Eolophus of the cockatoo family. Found throughout Australia, it is among the most common of the cockatoos."
Mini Very close footage with MM 2 of pink galahs, Australia.

Nice video of the Galahs. It would be so different having parrots flying about in the wild. We have a rescue, a little demon (Caique) who's kind originate in the Amazon.

About a meter and a half away but full zoom at 1080p I can not think of another drone that could do that at such a low level of noise.
Exactly! Not many parrots flying about in the wild here in Canada. Only place we get to see them is in a pet store, video, or in our particular case, a little green parrot wandering about the house looking for things to destroy.
I get you now
Loads of parrot species here. The local ones the 28 Parrot is being threatened by habitat destruction and invasive Rainbow Lorikeet. But both are stunningly beautiful as well as the pink galahs and white cockatoos.The only ones coming into my garden are the galas and the bigger white cockatoos who are the bullies. We should not feed them really; they are best left to their own foraging. But I can’t resist once or twice a week. The problem when I don’t feed them, they screech so loudly at me! Funny really. But you can’t make them depended on you.

Wow I am impressed. I even noticed the head feathers ruffled slightly with what I considered was from prop wash.
You have Rainbow Lorikeets in Perth. I thought they were only on the east coast.
We also have King parrots - the king of all parrots with their brilliant red breast and brilliant green wings.
We also get white cockatoos which chase the King parrots and Chrimson Rosellas away and can damage any exposed timber on the house
I look forward to more videos from you.

and plenty of Galahs ? ? Sorry John, couldn't resist that one.
BTW nice video of the pair.
I can sympathize with you. Can't resist, this is our little demon, Kali, doing her best Ruth Bader Ginsburg imitation...I get you now

Yes jarnie, we have Rainbow Lorikeets but they are invasive from the eastern states.
So many beautiful birds in Australia. When I was a kid in the north east of England my nan had budgies in a cage. I found out in the last few years they are native to Australia and hundreds of thousands flock around lakes and anything they can eat. Budgerigar - Wikipedia. Now there is another project! Imagine filming them in their thousands and some slo mo thrown in as you follow them with a MM 2 or a P4P?
Ring neck Barbara! Took me a few moments

Black headed Caique, from the northern Amazon. Always had birds about the house. Budgies while growing up and with my kids. Kali's predecessor was a cockatiel.Yes jarnie, we have Rainbow Lorikeets but they are invasive from the eastern states.

I'm actually quite surprised that you could get that close with a drone. Then again, the ravens hear about don't seem to fear my drone. Probably more likeley to attack it as an intruder were I to get too close.
One of your (Australia's) birds I love the sound of is the Kookaburra. Can't believe the amount of noise they can make.
In any case, more videos please.
Ha! When I first came to Australia 30 years ago, waking up in the morning, I thought I was having a nightmare, the Ravens, Parrots and Kookaburras made the most deafening noise, so loud and screeching. Recording wildlife with a drone is so engaging.
We have a few 28s who visit our yard regularly. They love the apple trees and the grapes at the moment. Wish I could teach them to eat the whole apple rather than take one mouthful and then move to to the next one.
