RE: wild birds Posted 274 days ago My cockateils, budgies and galah do the same, I just presumed it was to get some rain under their wings as mine tend to spread them out when they do this. |

RE: wild birds Posted 270 days ago A friend and I were out delivering papers in the rain one time very early in the morning and like you, ma30 we saw a mass of galahs hanging upside down on the power lines they seemed to be bathing. We laughed and laughed. They seemed to be having so much fun amongst themselves, I think it is a hygeine thing. We sat and watched them for about 5 minutes. |
