I've been told by an Aussie hunter Pal that they are tough. Is OOO buckshot adequate or is a HP slug preferred?

Australia is full of galahs , many of them post on here at times too

I would suggest a .22 rimfire would be as efficient at dispatching the wee chaps as anything else , all though there are unsubstantiated tales of people whacking them with larger calibres like 243 or 30-06 . I can neither confirm nor deny that situation though ....

I think you have the wrong meaning. They are suposed to be tough to chew ie if you eat one. There is an old recipe for galah and its-

Place one plucked and gutted Galah in a pot with one rock of any type.

Bring water to the boil and boil both rock and Galah until the rock goes soft.

Throw Galah away and eat the rock.

Its a piss-take - the OP posted about a galah in another forum and this is a carry-on from that ... ;-)

My wife and I used to do about 2 or 3 miles every night in a hilly area behind our house in Harrison, ACT. The parrots always made it interesting. I never saw a kookaburra in Harrison, I saw one or two at the ACT Rifle range, but rarely over three years.

I never heard a kookaburra call in Harrison. Of course they are endemic all over Australia, just must not have been a ton in the ACT.

I have the bastards at my place waking me up on a sunday morning sleep in.
