Galahs (Eolophus roseicapilla) are one of the most abundant and familiar of the Australian parrots, occurring over most of the country, including some offshore islands. Galahs have a bouncing acrobatic flight, but spend much of the day sheltering from heat in the foliage of trees and shrubs. Huge noisy flocks of birds congregate and roost together at night. They are affectionate and friendly birds, with pairs mating for life. Female Galahs have red or pink eyes (the males have brown or black), so these are girls obviously hanging together for a good giggle.
