Also known as the Rose-breasted Cockatoo, Galahs are distributed generally throughout Australia. While they can cause damage to cultivated crops they also eat large quantities of seeds of noxious plants.

They congregate in large noisy flocks, feeding mostly on the ground on seeds. Agricultural lands which provide large quantities of spilled seed at harvest time are targeted by Galahs. The birds mate permanently and nest in hollows in trees. There is a high chick mortality rate, but evidence of strong population growth due to the greater availability of water and food resources since white settlement.
