The species is abundant and widely distributed; it faces no significant short-term risk.
The galah, or rose-breasted cockatoo, is one of the most abundant and most recognisable birds in Australia: deep pink on the breast and head, grey on the back, with a pale pink crest. It forms noisy flocks of hundreds of birds that feed on seeds in crops and grassland. It has benefited enormously from farming and from stock watering points, and its range and numbers have increased since European settlement.
