The galah - Eolophus roseicapilla - also known as the Rose-breasted Cockatoo, Galah Cockatoo, Roseate Cockatoo or Pink and Grey, is a sociable bird, often seen in flocks of more than 100 individuals.
The galah is a small pink and grey cockatoo, 24-40 centimetres in length and 227-380 grams in weight. The sexes look alike, but the eyes of the male are dark brown, while those of the female are pinkish-red. It is the most widespread and abundant of the Australian cockatoos and is found throughout the interior areas of the Australian mainland. The original habitat of the galah was chiefly inland semi-arid shrublands and drier coastal areas to the north. The birds were typically found along watercourses with suitable nesting and roosting trees.
