Last night I dreamed about Halls Gap and Koalas.
But the koalas weren't in the Halls Gap part of the dream. They were in my dream about Disney's Animal Kingdom Park.
I wonder if there are koalas in Halls Gap. I don't associate the place with koalas. I associate it with kangaroos, emus, cockatoos, and kookaburras.
I'm pretty sure there are no koalas at Disney's Animal Kingdom. I wonder if they have any Australian animals.
I shall google......
This Grampians blog says koalas are rarely seen in Halls Gap, but seeing one isn't a complete impossibility.
I'm trying to understand what the blog is saying. It goes a bit over my head.
But I think it's saying that prior to a 2006 fire there were koalas. I guess the fire messed with their population. Now people have asked why they're not being re-released into the area.
There are koalas at the Halls Gap Zoo. Recently three of them arrived from the Healesville Sanctuary. They already had one koala; so now they have four.
Now I'm looking at the list of animals at Disney's Animal Kingdom.
They have a Sulphur-crested cockatoo, a grey kangaroo, a red kangaroo.....
They have a salmon-crested cockatoo. I've never heard of that. I'm guessing it's Australian? Are there cockatoos that are not from Australia?
They have a rose-breasted cockatoo. I've never heard of that either.
They have a Tawny Frogmouth!!! I want to see that. I love those!
The last time we went to Disney World, we skipped the Animal Kingdom park. We were thinking of skipping again this year, but I may need to change our minds.
I just consulted Lord Wiki about the salmon-crested cockatoo. He says it's an Indonesian bird.
He says the rose-breasted cockatoo is another name for the Galah.

I never heard a galah called a rose breasted cockatoo. I suppose we shouldn't be surprised that Indonesia has cockatoos too as it is not far from Australian shores.
ReplyDeleteAndrew,
ReplyDeleteI never heard them called that either. Maybe it's an American term? Well, because the website is American.
Yeah. It makes sense about cockatoos being around in Indonesia.
I am checking about rose breasted cockatoos.
ReplyDeleteCool.
ReplyDeleteTell me what you find.
