Galah (Cacatua roseicapilla)

Galah

Cacatua roseicapilla



Sexing -

The female had red eyes while the male has black.

Noise -

Moderate to High, they can produce a very loud squawk when alarmed. They are
generally quite unless that squawk is produced.

General care -

I will be keeping my Galah's in my larger group aviary with Princess Parrots,
Bourke Parrots, Red Rumped Parrots and a Gouldian Finch. They appear to have a good temperament but they are larger than the other species and have no reason to be threatened.
I have been providing my usually mixed seed with daily vegetable, fruit and greens (just in greater levels)

Breeding -

They are a proven breeding pair, so I'll be looking at options for nesting boxes shortly. I do have one I converted out of a hollow log which will be one of my options for these birds.
