Eolophus roseicapilla
Watch Galahs for a while and you will see why the term 'galah' is used for people who play the fool! The Galah is one of the natural clowns of the bird world. Both males and females are bright pink all over except for a grey back, wings and tail, and a paler cap.
Their nest is a few leaves in the bottom of a hollow in a tree, where they lay up to eight eggs. They feed on seeds and like open spaces with scattered clumps of trees for roosting and nesting. Land-clearing and cereal crops have favoured galahs and they are now often so common that we forget how beautiful they are.
