Hi Geoff,

Nice to see! I think I like the first one best.

Back when I was studying, I visited the Grampians a few times for a yearly
conference, and the place is absolutely full of corellas, thousands of
them, with a sort of constant background squawking. They're fun birds to
watch, always seem to have a vaguely mischievous look to them:
