Well-known member
Hi, I saw these birds back in Feb near Wilson's Prom. and would appreciate some help with IDs. Thanks
1) Cuckoo of some type?
2) Green rosella.. but not quite like my book?
3) Small birds?
4) Most Galas I saw had brown eyes, but these two had red and black! Is this all normal or is there a problem?

Cuckoo's aren't my forte but maybe a Pallid cuckoo?

Juvenile Crimson rosella
Dusky woodswallow as said
Female galahs have red eyes, males have dark brown eyes
 
Photo 1 - The Cuckoo looks like Pallid to me - juvenile/immature.

Agree with Nutcracker and Platy on the remainder.
