A large Australian cockatoo with grey and pink feathers, known for its loud calls and social behavior.
From Yuwaalaraay, an Aboriginal Australian language spoken in New South Wales. The word was adopted into English when European settlers encountered these birds in Australia.
Galahs are sometimes called the 'clowns of the bird world' because they're goofy and social, but they're actually incredibly intelligent—they can remember faces and hold grudges for years against birds they don't like!
Complete word intelligence in one call. Free tier — 50 lookups/day.
