Lovely thanks @Former-Member Galahs, slightly different from Western Galahs.
Maybe Princess Parrots (cannot tell clearly).
Topknot Pigeons, which make a lovely whirring sound when they fly.

@Adge , can you take photos of your WA birds for us? This pics aren't clear cause I can't get close & have to zoom & crop. Gonna have to go research pigeons now cause I thought they were doves, but they do make that whirling sound on flight. Someone circles pigeons here too, captured a photo of them on the resting on neighbours roof one day. Think they're pigeons, they're heavier set (really know it when they land on my roof 😲), and they coo softly.
Are you ok Adge? Know you need to rest & recharge a lot on w'ends 🦉 Do you go to church? I'm struggling reconnecting with people in general, but need to.
You got me thinking re gallahs & princess parrots... gonna have to go Google this one 🙏😊 🕊️

Hi @Former-Member I haven't taken photos in years. I could try to get back into the habit.
Sadly there are few photos of me in existence (esp over the past 25 years) - because no-one is with me to take them.
I have been worse than usual (more exhausted) on the weekends lately, for no reason that I'm aware of.
Although my energy has never actually recovered from my last surgery (March) 4 months ago.
Being so tired means that don't go out much on weekends (except for shopping etc), so don't find new opportunities to connect with people.
I still haven't made it back regularly to my Saturday morning yoga class (just once or twice), because I've been too tired on Saturday mornings.
No, haven't been to church in a long time. No objections, just never connected in a way to make it feel like community (in recent years).
Church was always a family activity, in my past. Since I have no family to go with, I don't like going places always on my own.
Oh Google, it's the answer to everything (according to some people).

Hi @Former-Member Thanks for sharing.
No, no mood swings, just exhausted with low stable mood, most of the time.
No children, always wanted to have children - so will be an oldie all on my own (at this stage).
I have still always done 1 yoga class (Thursday) each week, even though missing my 2nd (Saturday) class.
I've lost my record for being one of the few dieheart yoga enthusiasts, who do 2 classes every week - although I did keep that up (2) for 7 & 1/2 years.
I have to take probiotics every day, because of disfunctional digestion (& IBS) - caused by bowels being disconnected (2nd surgery) for 6 months. Plus multivitamins etc.
Wow you do have a lot of experience with lots of things (& people).
Being a somewhat shy introvert, promoting myself has never come easily.
I've consistently been a Doormat for people in the past - not healthy, don't want to continue that.
That's where being assertive comes in....

Yes there are lots of lovely Vietnamese ladies at churches here - this area has a high vietnamese, & african population (amongst others).

This is a Lizard Canary - I love them! (my favourite).
I have a Canary that looks a bit like this, but it isn't a Lizard.
