I'm assuming that they were just getting a good scratch, although they may be a mating pair and were feeling a bit frisky. It would be amazing to see Galahs in the wild. We have one as a pet and he really enjoys a good head scratch, no tree required. :D

Nice capture.

These birds are gorgeous, it would be wonderful having them fly around loose. Nicely done.
