That's a Major Mitchell's cockatoo, not a galah lol.
But there are lutino galahs who have white instead of grey

Oh my bad. The photo called it a Galah so I assumed it was some strange hybrid of one lol. I'm not as educated on all the different types of birds as I'd like to be. I only know of hand full that you usually see for sale in the pet hobby. And I've only kept about 3 different kinds over the span of my life time.

No worries, so many people misidentify Major Mitchell's as a galah lol. Major Mitchell's have AMAZING crest, really beautiful birds!

Yup, it's a major mitchell/leadbeater's cockatoo.
There ARE lutino galahs, though.

Actually got to meet a Major Mitchell this afternoon, a stunning bird although this particular one was only interested in sulking at the back of his cage so no chance of seeing the magnificent crest. I was surprised how much bigger he was than a galah - I thought they were similar with the MM a little chunkier, but this fella was much larger, kind of like a barn owl that had been put through the wash with a red sock. Awesome bird, anyway.
