5 Interesting Facts About Pink Galahs!

  • Galahs are the most widespread and common cockatoo in Australia - they've actually benefited from human land clearing, which created the open grasslands and grain crops they thrive on.
  • In Australian slang, calling someone a 'galah' means they're being a fool or acting silly - inspired by the bird's tendency for noisy, clownish behaviour and acrobatic play.
  • They mate for life and are extraordinarily devoted partners - galah pairs preen each other, fly in synchronised formation and are rarely more than a wing's breadth apart.
  • Galahs are highly intelligent and can learn to mimic speech - in captivity they've been known to develop extensive vocabularies, though they're generally less talented mimics than some other parrot species.
  • Flocks of galahs can number in the thousands and perform breathtaking aerial displays - wheeling and swooping in tight formation, flashing alternately pink then grey as they turn in unison.
