CommentI watched this female Galah for several minutes as she rubbed her bill on the trunk of the dead gum. I'm not sure if this was cleaning, sharpening or both but she was very focused on her work. Looking at the tree trunk you can see the pale strip around the truck that runs roughly parallel to the line of remaining bark. It gives the impression that the bill rubbing may be common practice fo many Galahs.
