Cocky Birds and Galah (Bitharndi)
We keep this bird around the camp as pets. There is an increase site for the gala which is a large rock on the Fortescue river. In the old days when they would increase the site, they’d hit this site with a stick and the rock would turn red. It can be also cooked in hot ashes or in the ground
