What do I do with them? Feed the foxes and ants mostly. Dogs and cats have got some in the past. The colonials ate a lot of native birds and parrots. In reality why not? If you can eat pheasants and the French tiny little ortalans why not a Galah or a rosella or a lorikeet? (note rosellas, lorikeets etc are protected). I'm sure some might say they are tough? They probably can grow quite old.

Has anyone tried eating galahs? Recipes?

In the state of South Australia, galahs are considered "unprotected native fauna" and may be shot (without a permit), trapped or gassed (with a permit) by landowners.[13]

As food

The galah has historically been eaten by humans. Galah meat recipes were published in Australian newspapers in the 1930s, alongside jokes about the alleged toughness and unpalatable nature of the bird's flesh.[17][18]
