An Australian Parrot: the Galah

The beautiful Galah is one of the most recognisable of Australian parrots. It can be found in large numbers throughout most of Australia. Flocks can range from a few individuals (2-10) through to many hundreds all flying together. Their beautiful pink feathers make a spectacular sight when a flock flies overhead.

They are also a very popular pet and can be taught to speak a few words. The photos on this post were taken in my garden. They are all of wild birds.

Photos like these can now be bought on coffee mugs and many other items such as tee-shirts, postcards and so on: click here.
