This story comes from near Warnan and the Seven Sisters site.
Once there was an warlawurru (eagle man) who had two wives a karnka (crow) and a kakalawa (galah). They all lived together and the husband looked after his wives well by hunting for them, but the eagle man always favoured his second wife (galah). When he went hunting he would always give her the best and juiciest pieces, which made the crow wife very jealous.
The two wives hunted for witchetty grubs together, but the eagle man wouldnt eat the crows witchetty grubs, always preferring those gathered by the galah wife. The crow wife became very jealous and one day she formed a plan.
When both wives went out hunting for witchetty grubs, the crow woman got her wana (digging stick) and hit the galah wife, breaking her arms and legs, and then left galah there. When crow returned to the camp, the eagle man asked, Wheres galah woman?
Ahhh! She is having a baby. crow replied, and started to sing the traditional song associated with women having babies.
The baby had a nose just like you eagle man. Eagle man was very happy.
Four or five days later, eagle man asked where his baby was and decided to go off and follow galah woman's tracks. After some time, he found her tracks and came across the place where the two women had the big fight. There was still blood on the ground and he could see that the galah woman had dragged herself away. Eagle man got very upset. He tracked galah all the way to the Kimberley, which is a very long way, but he never found her.
Eagle man realised that the crow was a bad wife, and so he went back to the camp to kill her. When he reached the camp he found her sitting in one of the wiltjas. He hit her and killed her and then got some grass, threw it down beside the shelter, lit it and burnt her. The galah wife stayed in the Kimberley never to be found and the eagle man was heard saying tadda tadda (goodbye).
