Galahs

/ɡəˈlɑːz/ noun

Definition

Plural of galah; multiple Australian cockatoos with grey and pink plumage.

Etymology

From Yuwaalaraay, an Aboriginal Australian language. The plural simply adds the English '-s' suffix to the borrowed word 'galah.'

Kelly Says

Galahs are so social that they live in flocks that can number in the thousands, and when they all fly together creating massive pink and grey clouds across the Australian outback, it's one of nature's most spectacular displays.
