    Need help please

    Hello I’m really hoping for some advice for our newest family member who is a lovely little male galah. He is a rescue and we’ve had him for around 2 months. Our vet aged him at around 2. He was found and handed in to a fauna rescue group who let us adopt him and from the start he seemed to...

    12 week old Galah nipping/biting?

    I recently accepted a young Galah to handraise (it's a long story, I have handraised native birds before so don't come for me). It has been with me for about 8-9 weeks now & I didn't have any problems with it so far. As recently as yesterday, it was screaming & flapping wings being all excited...

    Galah Cockatoo does not like me anymore

    Hello everyone, Two day ago, we bought a 2 year old female Galah Cockatoo. When we went to look at her she was very happy to see me. I could take her out of the cage, dance with her and pet her. I wasn't scared of her for a minute. She even did not really want to sit with my boyfriend, she...

    Not fully weaned?? (RB2/Galah)

    Hello, I thought the universe just happened to fall into place as I was ready for a new bird in my life, and I was able to get hold of a beautiful Galah. I want to preface this by saying it’s also only the first few days of me having him. He eats pellets and fresh veggies wonderfully, and...

    Hi

    Hi, I'm a new Galah owner and forum member! My new boy (?) is a few months old and we love him to bits already. Quick question however; he shakes and nuzles closing his eyes whenever he is scratched and petted whilst on his perch (by me). Any ideas? Should I be concerned? There is no aggression...

    Galah Chases and Attacks

    About two weeks ago, I found a Galah which was obviously an escaped pet. Local vets were notified, we posted it on a community Facebook page and have checked ParrotAlert, but we haven’t gotten any responses so we’ve decided to keep him. Most of the time he’s very friendly. He’ll fly over to you...

    Hello from Western Australia

    Hi, all hows it going? My family and I have had a Citron cockatoo and an African grey (they now live very happily in Spain with my parents and have started speaking spanish too) as Australia doesn't allow you to bring pet birds in to Australia and WA has a ban on African Grey parrots...

    So I brought home a new (12 year old) Galah cockatoo from a bird expo that I went to in Madison Heights MI. I had been looking for a bird for awhile. He was affectionate through the cage and seemed to really enjoy head scratches. After a stressful day getting him home, he is settling in his...

    First Vet Visit

    Good evening, birdie friends :) Getting paid this Friday means money to take my new parrot to his first vet visit in early May. (Don't have exact date scheduled yet.) I've done a bit of reading that the first vet visit will typically be the most costly with the blood work that should get...

    Buying a galah from Australia?

    Hello, this is a CRAZY idea but, I was wondering if it is legal if I were to take plane tickets to Australia, buy a bird/galah there, and fly me, and the bird back to the USA. Does anyone know if that is somehow allowed? Thanks, Gracelyn. :)

    Pellets for a Galah?

    Hello everybody, I hope you guys are doing wonderful! But if you don't mind, could I ask a question on Galah food? ;) I know for a fact that Galahs LOVE seeds, especially Sun flower. But they are fatty foods and should be ONLY for special treats, so I was going to ask what are the best pellets...
