Galah


Galah, Eolophus roseicapilla, this pink and grey cockatoo is found in all states of Australia. This collection of 3 photos of this Australian Bird were taken by me over many years (2006-2013) using different camera gears.
Male Galah IMG_3987a
The above picture was taken in 2006 of a male Galah feeding on the ground. Male and female can be differentiated from the colour of their eyes. The male Galah has deep brown eyes, while the female Galah has bright red eyes.
Female Galah  IMG_9697a
This photo was taken in 2008, some where near Canberra. This female Galah had sparkling bright red eyes in the good natural light. This Galah was foraging through the native plants, feeding on grass seeds and roots.
Galah 1C0A5705
This last photo was taken recently at Lake Parramatta Reserve. The female Galah was emerging from the hollow of this eucalyptus tree. This is probably the breeding nest for this galah. They are known to line the their nest with Eucalyptus leaves.
