Galahs

In the sudden, brief and intense downpour we just experienced here in Canberra, the local birds went crazy with noise and action. I watched in delight from my office window as the galahs and maggies screeched joyfully, flying around, hopping about on the ground, roiling drunkenly as they tilted their wings back and forth to catch the bright sparkling raindrops as they hissed all around. I'm certain that, in the ensuing silence and sunshine, that they are all contentedly preening the water back through their feathers, just as Phoenix always does after a good dunking.

It was wonderful, wasn't it?
My office looks out onto some grass and a few trees and the birds went mad here too. :)
