Australian Galah Soup

The Australian Galah is a medium-small parrot, grey on the back, pink breast, white crest, and are found in vast numbers all across Australia. While being highly intelligent they are also the craziest birds on the planet, making noise far beyond their size, and flying upside down whenever the mood strikes them. Hanging upside down from branches and powerlines (alive!) is a reasonably common way to see them.

They are not renowned for good eating, but there has been centuries of research into the topic. The following recipe is its result

* 1 large saucepan, filled with cold water
* 1 galah, plucked and cleaned
* 3 riverstones of reasonable size
* seasoning to taste
* campfire

Place galah, stones and seasoning into cold water. Place saucepan onto fire, and bring to the boil. Continue to boil, replenishing water as necessary. Boil until stones are soft and tender. Throw out the galah and water and eat the rocks.
NOTE: Rocks may be substituted with an axe head.
