<P><font size=1>The Galah is a grey and pink cockatoo, which is very active and noisy with a shrill call. They have a pink eye ring and the difference between males and females is in their eye colours. The mature female has a coppery red coloured pupil and the mature male’s is a darker black. Galahs grow to a length of about 35 cm, and fully grown, weigh 300 to 400 grams. Galahs are often kept as pets because of their ability to talk and relate to humans.

Habitat: Originally Galahs mainly resided inland in dry areas but since European settlement, the Galah is found all over Australia in large and small flocks in woodlands, shrubs and suburban parks and gardens. They are a pest on farms growing cereal crops where they gather in large numbers. The Galah is one of the most widespread of Australia’s parrots, being found in all states. The only area it is not found in is the most arid country and from the tip of Cape York.
