This artwork depicts a flock of Galah's, which live in almost all part of Australia. The word galah is a cross between the Aboriginal names gulah, gillar and galar. The Galah, also known as the Rose-breasted Cockatoo, Galah Cockatoo, Roseate Cockatoo or Pink and Grey, is one of the most common and widespread cockatoos.

These birds eats grass, grass roots, crumbs, fruit, nuts, oats and wheat. They gather most of their food from the ground after the ripened seed has fallen.
