This is a big deal for us: {galah} is now available in R *and* Python!!
Guides for both languages available together at galah.ala.org.au
There's a snake in my code! 🐍
Do you ❤️ ALA's {galah} #RStats package but prefer to work in #Python? 📊
🙌 You're in luck because we've just launched the {galah} Python Package!
The release will help you better understand & visualise ALA #data. 👀

We still don't know what works best for managing our birds.
In the meantime, avoiding damage and loss of habitat in the first place is the most important thing we can do @martine_maron

Here, the track that we usually drive on to access sites has been transformed into waterbird paradise. #Lowbidgee
#SuperbParrots nesting late at approx. 30% of their typical annual effort in #Canberra. Incubating females looking a little worse for wear, but good to see decent clutches among active nests. #threatenedspecies
Pls wish these two lovers luck - these wet years have been hard. 💚💛❤️

Plenty hanging around Kings Park atm!
