A few comments from
Whacker's friends around the world:
"Wow Whacker! You are such a cool bird!"
- Ricky Lenz, Trenton New Jersey, USA.
"Do they come in any other colours?"
- Dorothy Cullen, Thunder Creek, NZ.
~~ Ah, no. ~~
"He looks like a stuffed toy. How do we know he is real?"
- K. Owen L-J, Broadbeach Waters, Gold Coast, Australia.
~~ He's real all right. And much more than a stuffed toy, Whacker sometimes reminds Me of an animated Warner Bros. cartoon character. Not so much another Tweetie Bird, Whacker's more like Duffy Dack. Despicable! ~~
"He's unreal! You can call me a galah - It's not an insult - it's a compliment!!!"
- K. Owen L-J, Broadbeach Waters, Gold Coast, Australia.
"Whacker is such a delightful little fella. It has sure been a pleasure knowing Whacker of Woodside and he is definitely a character. The site is something to be proud of!!!"
- Jan McMutrie, Port Elliot, South Australia.
"Aha, Whacker. Looks like a far out parrot. Looks a bit like the Norweigian Blue from the Monty Pythons he he. Keep up the good work, Whacker."
- LazyDog, Sweden.
"Hi. Just leaving a note to say nice site and the bird looks really cool."
- Marie and Laura, Birmingham, England.
"Do galahs taste as good as they look?"
- Bruce Smart, No Address Supplied.
~~ That's a very smart question. Me has never thought about eating a galah. The thought of dining on some of Whacker's friends or relatives could cause chronic appetite loss anyway. Yes, Whacker of Woodside is good looking. But good enough to eat? Yuk!
~~ About dining on Australian native fauna, it has only been the past 10 years since the average 'White Australian' human has developed a taste for kangaroo fillets. Me tried it once in the Northern Territory but found the meat too rich, dark and bloody looking. (Preferred crocodile anyway.)
~~ Besides, there's not much flesh on a galah. They are such wiry little creatures. Whacker's anatomy consists of a solid head and rock-hard beak, well feathered wings, boney legs with reptilian claws, and a rather stout tummy or crest filled with gizzards and bowels. Or in Whacker's case, a lot of heart.
~~ No, galahs shouldn't be eaten, they should be admired and protected like all Australia's threatened native species. But thank you anyway, Mr Smart, for such an intriguing question. ~~
"Hi Whacker. My name's Christian, and I think you're so cool, and that your pictures are great. I'm a big fan of yours and would like to meet you some day."
- Christian Squires, Nambour, Queensland, Australia.
"Whacker is a wonderful bird, such a character, with wonderful owners and a great home. He's a bird with attitude. You should be proud of him!!!!"
- Leeanne, Woodside Pet Supplies, South Australia.
"I'd like to know how he got the great name of Whacker."
- Avril Cox, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
~~ The young galah's name was given to him by Nathan the Farm Boy when he found the fallen baby bird 'whacking' his little wings on the ground, as if trying to get them to work so he could fly. Suffice to say, Avril, as Whacker's Website and upcoming book have been created and written with young people in mind, its Writer has used the correct spelling of the word, 'Whacker'. So that's Whacker with an 'h', not 'Wacker' or 'Wacka'.
