Galah

I am all ready for my starring role. I can mimic any voice, so I make the perfect understudy. I do the best voiceovers. If you need a train whistle? I’m your bird. Need me to call your boss and book you off a sick day—call on me to get the job done.

Have you guessed what I am yet? I am a Galah, a rose-breasted cockatoo. I am super friendly and love to learn new tricks, making me a great stunt bird. What I don’t like is being left alone. I get lonely, and I love lots of attention, like any star.

I would be pleased to join your pet family. Oh, the fun we will have and the tricks we can play.

Your pet becomes an expert at finding its own food!

Birdsong is as old as time. Birds sing to announce their ownership of territory, to find a mate, or just for the joy of living. Of course they all sing completely different tunes, but all birds understand the nuances of other bird’s songs, even though they may sound entirely different.

There is a natural order of things. Little tweeting birds hear one another in the hedges; hawks scream in the skies; blackbirds warble across the fields. And they ignore other species.

But when the wrens first saw a microphone and realised they could make themselves heard by everybird everywhere, that changed all the rules. Suddenly it wasn’t good enough to have just the right song for your environment; you had to scream just to be heard over the wrens!

Peace could only be achieved by giving everybird a microphone, but only in designated places. Then with everybird having an equal chance to be heard, competitive interspecies birdsong began. And the fields and skies went back to the natural order of things.
