I heard the call of a Gang-gang but instead I saw some Galahs. There were three Galahs in a dead tree with a male Gang-gang making a very loud noise opposite them in a tree with foliage. As both species use tree hollows for nesting I am not sure if that was the issue. The galah in the photos seems to have dirty wings, which may indicate it has been inside a tree hollow. The final photograph show a female who was the most animated. She was calling while moving her head up and down. She also started flapping her wings, first photo. When the male Gang-gang flew off she followed him while the male galah stayed put.
