The Galahs Pretend We Live in the Bush by Michael Buckingham Gray

Sitting on top
of a streetlight
like it is a branch,
sticky-beaking
behind the service hatch
like it is a hollow in a tree,
nibbling on electrical wire
like it is grass seed
& jumping,
jumping
like a farmer’s gun
has just gone off.

Two Pink Galahs by Jeanie Axton

Two old pink galahs

up high in a gumtree

looked down at recess

to see what they could see.

Two junior school boys

glanced up and said “Gidday”

then the two old galahs 

spread their wings and flew away.
