Galahs Or Pink And Graycockatoos Poem by Francis Duggan

Galahs or pink and gray cockatoo
Live in large flocks as many parrots do
Birds I see often sometimes every day
Quite distinctive from other cockatoos in every way
The female has her nest in hollow standing stump or hole on trunk of tree
Laying pale white eggs at most four though very often three
For cockatoos birds of a medium size
Familiar in their colouring and their low ringing cries
Sometimes seen in rural town parks but mostly birds of the countryside
Their range is very large Australia wide
Out of their breeding Season they do not have a territory
Eating spilt grain on the roadside them one does often see
In Australia parrots that are widely known
The pink and gray galahs do have ways of their own.
