My breeder friends has a Galerita Galerita for sale, and I'm thinking about buying him. We don't see them in captivity very often, their difficult to sell because people mistake them as a Triton and I am starting to think that if I want to help ensure they don't disapear from captivity I should start the long process of finding him a mate. I googled sulfur crest cockatoo and found quite a few photos of birds that people claimed are a Greater Sulfur crest that are actually a Galerita Galerita. They are from Australia and the key differences between them and a greater are this...
Galerita Galerits has a white eye ring......... Greaters have a blue eye ring
Galerita Galeritas have a large body and a head that looks almost too small for it's body
They are also the same length as moluccan cockatoos (about 20")
They are regarded as the most gentle of all the cockatoos.
He is a beautiful bird, and I'm really thinking about it...
Just wanted to share
