More Galah Romance

A few days back I posted about the romantic behaviour of some galahs near a nest hollow to the West of our house.  This evening we were sat in our sun room when a large ruckus broke out in a Yellow Box just East of the house.  On investigating I found two pairs of galahs sitting in the tree.
Both pairs eventually got down to some smooching.  The upper pair led off:

closely followed by the lower ones.

I don't think there is anything earth-shattering in these images, although they do seem to define allopreening, but I think they are cute.  It is occasionally useful to reflect on the beauty of the birds that live round here!

Nice study in preening techniques, Martin.
