"You can't shoot them! They're native! It's not hunting!". I hear screamed!

Yes you can shoot them. At least in redneck SA. They can be shot as part of crop or fruit protection. They love freshly planted crops. Digging out and eating the oats, barley or other cereal seeds.

They are a lovely pink and grey parrot. With a large beak.

Don't let your good buddy Donder retrieve them. He will learn to bite hard and crunch them and become hard mouthed. A nip from those large beaks and he will bite back.

I must plant a hay crop this year. Have neglected to do so for two years and need new hay. Later in autumn no doubt will have large flocks of good shotgun practice galahs. My 12-bores with 7 1/2 shot will work well. Will give the hammer guns a blast as well.

No limits! There are huge numbers of galahs in Australia. But I only shoot a few handfulls anyway.

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. Usually some joke about cook them with an old boot and then eat the leather instead. I see now stupid Eastern state jokes about an axe head instead. Wtf?!

Has anyone tried eating galahs? Recipes?

Galahs appear big fat bulky birds. Surely they have some meat under those feathers.
