Habitat: Originally Galahs mainly resided inland in dry areas but since European settlement, the Galah is found all over Australia in large and small flocks in woodlands, shrubs and suburban parks and gardens. They are a pest on farms growing cereal crops where they gather in large numbers. The Galah is one of the most widespread of Australia's parrots, being found in all states. The only area it is not found in is the most arid country and from the tip of Cape York.

Food: Galahs feed on seeds of both native plant seeds, fruit & nut seeds as well as cereal crops of wheat, oats etc, searching for the seeds on the ground. They also on rare occasions,  eat small insects. They will travel a long way from their nest in search of food. As stated above, farmers consider them a pest because of the damage they do to crops.

Breeding: Galahs breed at different times of the year depending on their location. Those in Northern Australia breed from February to July, and those in the south from July to December. They make a nest in a tree cavity and produce 3 to 4 eggs which take about a month to hatch. Often the tree is marked by removing a patch of bark near the nest, thought to be a message to other galahs that that hollow is already being used. Both parents care for the young which leave the nest after 2 months. The young Galah's soft early, small, furry feathers are pink.
