Nothing unusual to report. Except this, which has appeared on our desk.

‘‘Surly strutter seeks fun fluffy female to sing beautiful songs with whilst perching in the sun’’.

Most days, it would rank no higher than fifth on the scale of weird personal ads in the Newcastle Herald.

But this one’s from Ralph the galah. That elevates it to third.

Previously in Topics, you learned that Ralph’s 30, bald and lives at Anglican Care’s Scenic Lodge aged care home.

Charlestown MP and vet Andrew Cornwell said Ralph needed a bigger cage, and we mused that he needed company his own age and species.

Back then, he was so devoid of feathers that he dropped from his perch like a stone.

In the latest vision we’ve seen, he seems to have recovered a few, which shouldn’t hurt his chances of love.

He’s now exactly the same age and baldness as Prince William.

So if you have wings, claws, a beak and dig lads who screech ‘‘who’s a clever boy’’ when passing reflective surfaces, how ‘bout it ladies?
