What a setting for this gorgeous Galah! She looks dozy and very floofy, framed by the blue blue Outback sky:

Male and female Galahs are very similar. The easiest way to tell a female from a male is that the females have pink eyes, like the one in my photo, whereas the males have dark eyes. (You can see the difference in this post, which has both male and female birds.)
