We passed by a grass verge littered with dried fallen leaves, and something moved within it. Who would have expected the Galahs with their brightly-coloured plumage to be so well-camouflaged while foraging! These distinctive bright pink and grey cockatoos are a common sight in most parts of Australia. The term ‘galah’ is also a derogatory Australian slang to refer to someone behaving like a ‘ fool’, ‘clown’ or ‘idiot’.
