Out of nowhere, a bird starts screaming and attacking a piece of bark that was left on the floor of his cage at a botanical garden in Queensland, Australia.

Video of the bemused bird was filmed on March 30 at the Maleny Botanic Gardens and Bird World. The filmer gave a guess of why the bird went nuts over the tree, saying: "No one would play with him so he decided to wrestle a piece of bark instead".

According to the bird-keeper, this behaviour is consistent throughout Galahs, the breed of bird, saying: "They just play around and are absolute idiots all the time."

Whether a true Galah or a Galah cross... they’re all the same

This is like genuine galah behaviours they just play around and are absolute idiots all the time

No one would play with him so he decided to wrestle a piece of bark instead

He’s a galah hybrid

It happened Sunday afternoon I was packing up at work and turned around and he kept doing this with a piece of bark so I filmed it
