Yes I think so they used to strip a tree in our garden.

I noticed significant stripping of the bark of an Argyle Apple in Haig Park opposite the entrance to the O'Connell Hall at Merici College on the weekend. I have attached some photos showing the extent of the stripping. A galah was busy chewing away at the bark at the time. Would a galah (s) be responsible for such extensive bark stripping? The galah was near a nest hollow at the time.
