    First time feeding Galah cockatoo.

    We got our first cockatoo who is just 3 weeks old today and tried feeding baby bird formula for the first time. At one point he turned his head and some of the feed got spread over his eye. I wiped it immediately but he started making a fist with his toes. After a couple of minutes he went back...

    Swollen lower abdomen - Galah

    Hi there, new to the site! Before I begin I'll just let you know I'm calling my local avian vet immediately after they open tomorrow morning for an appointment (It's late here in Aus). I have a suspected female galah at least 6 years old (not sure of age) who has a swollen area on her lower...

    Galahs - do you lie on your back?

    Hi, Chilli and Alice and Dom and everyone..... Do you lie on your back like I've seen caiques and conures doing, and as Angel's owner just told us she does? I'm curious because my girl likes to stay on her legs. Thanks.

    galah moulting?

    I tried searching but didn't come across the info quickly.... When are galahs supposed to moult? My girl seems to be losing feathers at the moment (middle of summer and REALLY hot). Do they moult in summer and how often do they moult? Once a year? More?

    So, that was strange....

    My galah just acted a bit strange. She did a strange little wolf whistle noise, then she did her "huffing" thing, but quite strongly and she tried to kiss me or bite me on the mouth. She hasn't done that before. Was she trying to "get fresh" or something? I hadn't eaten anything that could...

    Very underweight galah cockatoo

    My husband and I are extremely concerned about our 6 month old galah cockatoo and we really need any advice. He had a yeast infection when he was about 4 months old. He has since been treated and weaned and is active and happy. He weaned about a few weeks after he got over his infection and...

    Cocky's response to torchlight - why?

    So, I had my torch out because I'd been looking down my dog's ear, and my galah was visiting with me. I switched the torch on and she immediately went into her "gymastics routine" where she yells and sticks out her wings and carries on like that. She usually only does it when she's in her...

    Feathers over her beak?

    You can usually see my galah's beak, but I've noticed sometimes that she seems to have spread her face feathers up out over her lower beak. What's that about? Anything to worry about?

    Cockatoo Grump

    I just wanted to see if anyone has been having similar issues to me. I have a female 1 year and 4 month old Corella cross Galah cockatoo, she's been handled from a young age and for months she was sweet and calm, but over the last few months she's been a real horror, she'll bite your fingers...

    Just joined & interested in purchasing my first parrot

    Hey all, I've been interested in owning a galah for a while now but I've read a lot of pages saying its best to develop a routine for parrots. so the only thing that is stopping me is that I work 6days a week on shift work so I do not have a routine myself, would this effect the bird?

    Galah's and LSC2 as companions

    I might be getting one or the other sometime soon, I know the important things like, pellets and seeds as a staple, human grade fruit and veg baring avocado and raw onions as food, cage should be at least 2X the wing span, they also need 4+ hrs a day to be happy, but there is no what I consider...

    Deciding!!!

    Okay, so in my first post, I said I really want to own a Macaw or African Grey. (I'm going to get my bird experience-- ie. Cockatiels, IRN, GCC, ect.***) And I did a lot of research on the breeds, and I came to the conclusion of wanting a B&G, GW, or a Harlequin; CAG; and now a Galah Cockatoo...

    Tell me about your Rosies/Galahs!!!

    OK, so I had my heart absolutely set on getting a yellow collared macaw as my next bird. I even had the opportunity to play with a bunch of babies and I loved them! However, the more I think about it, the more I need a family bird that would be less prone to becoming a one person bird. A YCM has...
