Galahs

I've also had a little company, in the form of the flocks of doves and galahs who've taken to dining in my backyard daily. ❋ Esta Sketch (2010)

I have seen fantail doves and galahs and cockatoos and rosellas and lorikeets. ❋ Unknown (2009)

I drew aside the net and lay listening to the mad, abandoned cries of flocks of pink-and-grey galahs that raced over me now and again, rolling and tumbling, revelling in their early-morning aerobatics. ❋ Roger Deakin (2009)

An early start, initially in driving rain and with flocks of suicidal galahs on the road. ❋ Alex Allan (2009)

Some undesirable had put out poisoned grain and a lot of introduced turtle and laughing doves were killed along with galahs and other natives. ❋ Glenda Larke (2009)

The area is thick with native birds: Pink and gray galahs and gaudy rosellas flit among the trees and across the bike path, picking at seeds in the exclusion zone between the bike path and the thick shrubbery that shields the naval base from prying cyclists. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Agricultural use has also allowed galah (Cacatua roseicapella) to invade from arid regions, but galahs ringbark trees and may be contributing to woodland decline. ❋ Unknown (2008)

COOPER: And Jill and Sanach (ph) and Maya (ph) and Lauren in Sydney all, like, e-mailed us, telling us, also, galah is a type of bird, slang for idiot, as in "You guys are acting like a mob of galahs." ❋ Unknown (2008)

MICHAEL WARE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: If it wasn't Australian magazine or a Web site that leaked, there were a bunch of galahs, a bunch of drongos, to use the Australian vernacular. ❋ Unknown (2008)

I'm sure now that one has been here, we'll be seeing a whole bunch more of them, since galahs like to hang out in huge flocks of fifty or so birds. ❋ StyleyGeek (2007)

Geekman and I just went for a walk in the snuggly autumn sunshine and I'm sure we saw every type of parrot that lives in this city: galahs, cockatoos, crimson rosellas, eastern rosellas, king parrots... ❋ StyleyGeek (2007)

And there was a nest, too, with galahs feedings something inside so I'm going to be obsessively staking out the treee in the hope of seeing some baby! parrots! ❋ StyleyGeek (2006)

The galahs and cockatoos (pink ones and white ones on the left-hand page), crimson rosellas and eastern rosellas (labeled "3" and "4" on the right-hand page if you can read that small --- the ones with the most red on them, sort of in the middle), and (counting cheating) gang-gangs (the grey ones with red heads on the left-hand page). ❋ StyleyGeek (2006)

I can't guarantee the galahs will face-plant for you on cue, though : ❋ StyleyGeek (2006)

Anyway, was nice to play with Max and Trixie, and the galahs. ❋ Desayunoencama (2004)

There are two galahs who are very people-oriented, but I only petted them a bit through the cage. ❋ Desayunoencama (2004)

My supervisor tells me she has it on good authority that a breeding pair of galahs sells for around $5000 in the States. ❋ StyleyGeek (2006)
