Ooh no, I don't even call a Roseate Cockatoo a Galah.....and as for using Major Mitchell's instead of Leadbeater's. Mind you, as we are using an Australian site................
Never heard of a Barraband's Parakeet. I have a lot of Supurb Parrots here at the moment. They winter in my area and leave to breed just south of here in the summer.
I always hear them before I see them as they have a loud call so I always know when they are around.
The spend most their time up the top of trees and usually I just see them silhouetted flying over. I hear them more than see them. I have a video of about 50 digging up sown wheat beside my house somewhere. I have never got around to putting it on you tube.
That's an interesting one. Both names must be fairly old and pretty well established. I prefer Leadbeater's also. Nice species to see in the wild btw...
