The galah (/ɡəˈlɑː/; Eolophus roseicapilla), less commonly known as the pink and grey cockatoo or rose-breasted cockatoo,[2] is an Australian species of cockatoo and the only member of the genus Eolophus. The galah is adapted to a wide variety of modified and unmodified habitats and is one of Australia's most abundant and widespread bird species.[3][4][5] The species is endemic to mainland Australia. It was introduced to Tasmania, where it is now widespread, in the mid-19th century[6] and much more recently to New Zealand.
