Galahs are medium-sized, striking parrots native to Australia. Recognizable by their soft pink faces and chests, grey wings and backs, and playful crests, they are lively, social, and full of charm.
These parrots feed mainly on seeds, fruits, and grasses, using their strong beaks to explore and crack open food. Highly social, Galahs often gather in large flocks, engaging in playful antics and forming strong bonds with one another.
At Hoo Zoo, our Galah helps visitors discover the behaviors of social birds, learn about the diversity of Australian wildlife, and understand the importance of conserving open woodlands and grasslands. Observing these energetic, colorful birds up close highlights their intelligence, curiosity, and essential role in their ecosystems.
