Galah

Eolophus roseicapilla

Description:

The Galah can be easily identified by its rose-pink head, neck and underparts, with paler pink crown, and grey back, wings and under-tail. Birds from the west of Australia have comparatively paler plumage. Galahs have a bouncing acrobatic flight, but spend much of the day sheltering from heat in the foliage of trees and shrubs. Huge noisy flocks of birds congregate and roost together at night.

Notes:

Did you know? Galahs can breed with other members of the cockatoo family, including the Sulphur-crested Cockatoo, C. galerita.
