I personally get really excited when people share photos of their pets, especially exotics and birds.
I personally want more Araluen photos. He's so pink and pretty. XD

In my personal opinion, so long as the person uploading isn't spamming the site with photos, it's not really a problem...
Especially if the pet is worth sharing XD Pet rocks? Uh... maybe one pic will do... and where possible, I prefer collages. (cough http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2860968/ cough) But most of the time, I think they belong in scraps.

Exactly. A lot of artists here seem to appreciate animal photos anyway, as they make for excellent real-life reference where you can usually have a hard time obtaining it. (I personally have not had the opportunity to ever see a Galah Cockatoo in real life! Our local zoos only retain their commonly-well-known birds on display, and they seem to be fairly rare in the local aviculture community.)

Oh god he's so pinkkkkk. ;_____;

Galahs (Aussie name) are the most common cockatoo in Australia o.o They are found all over the continent in huge flocks. When they fly they 'twinkle' pink and pale grey, it's quite a sight :}
But exporting any Australian native is VERY illegal, so even if your local zoo wanted one, they're hard to come by. Even breeders over there ask $1200+ US whereas I paid $20AU for Luen.

The pinkness. It buuuuurns.

Yeah, it's really kind of a bummer that they're not more widespread in the pet industry here. I'm a total sucker for that deep raspberry sherbert pink, and I've heard that they tend to be less 'dusty' than other 'toos. NOT that I don't already have more than enough birds. XD

I'd love to visit Australia. It's right up there with New Zealand and Africa in terms of my dream trips. My dad's really hardcore into diving so I'm probably a lot more likely to make it to Australia or New Zealand in my lifetime. (Everyone I talk to about wanting to go to Africa chides me for not thinking of the OMG DANGER.) To see flocks of cockatoos in the wild would be absolutely amazing.

But yeah, you pretty much can't import birds from anywhere these days without serious paperwork. Really, the United States is quite lucky to have such a diversity of parrot species as is, since we're not exactly home to many parrots naturally. (Carolina Parakeets and Thick-Billed Parrots, first one's totally extinct, I think the second's extinct in the United States now but does fairly well elsewhere. I think they tried to re-introduce some in Arizona one year but it failed.)
There IS however a woman in Northern California working to legally import some Gang Gang cockatoos and Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos for a cooperative breeding program, though. Which is hella exciting.
The Dallas Zoo or the Fort Worth Zoo MAY have Galahs already, by the way, but I wouldn't know. My vet's been telling me that the keepers are quite eager to show off their behind-the-scenes birds so I've been trying to get in touch with a few for a tour. So maybe someday I'll know. XD They're still next to impossible to aquire as pets here. (The price difference is CRAZY!)

But yeah, I'm not usually a fan of pink, but the grey, pale pink, and bright pink together is just a gorgeous color combination, and it's so striking to see it naturally on a living creature.

I've heard the comparison before, but it still holds as true - what we pay for a macaw, Americans will pay for a cockatoo... There's been some argument as to the 'average' price of hyacinth macaws here... The last public sale of one was something ridiculous like $42,000AU and there was some concern about how the bird got into the country.

Australia has this reputation for having OMG scary spiders and GASP snakes... but I've lived here all my life and I've seen... one snake? Poisonous spiders keep away from people as a general rule and the largest spiders are usually pretty docile... I don't really get all the fuss, but it is fun to tease the tourists 0:}

I'm not a fan of pink either... More of a purple person... But I've adored the playful goofy personality of galahs since I was a kid, so I was doomed to have a pink chicken.

I would like to see more pics.

Well, that's two votes for more pictures... :}
I definitely need to take more photos, either way. Probably not wise to do it now, however... being 5am and all.
WAKE UP LUEN IT'S PHOTO TIME. lol
