A few galah pics

Not the best quality, but the cuteness makes up for it I would say:

From a few days ago -- first shower in his/her new home:

SO PINK. :heart:

And a little video, wherein I sound dumb but the Pink One looks adorable.

awwwwww! I love these photos so much!!!! Did he like his bath? He looks very grumpy all wet LOL

He looks like he may have been over clipped at some point, ten feathers is a lot to take off. When I got Rosie she had ten feathers clipped and she fell to the ground very hard. She was also out of shape though.

*edit*
That video is adorable! I love his play stand and how he HOPS to it, I never thought a galah hop would be so cute.

Yes he did like the bath! He looks mad but he was doing the "shower dance" while I sprayed him.

Actually, he gets around pretty well even with this many feathers gone. Supposedly he was allowed to fly around a lot after he fledged, and I *think* the breeder may have clipped him like this in anticipation of him going off to a new home. She seems to think that leaving the first two feathers, then taking two, leaving two, and taking two more is a good way to clip. I'm not too worried about it, as he certainly doesn't drop to the ground, understands how to land and steer, etc. I do want to get him flying more so he stays fitm though. And I won't clip him again, barring extreme behavior like dive-bombing to seriously attack.

And OOOH YES, his little hop. It's the most adorable thing!! Granted he couldn't care less about the play stand, he just wants to get to me so he can chomp me.

Ah I see! From the photo it looked like he had molted out clipped feathers and new feathers had grown in. You can see my confusion lol

him and his chewing XD I've heard young galahs can be pretty nippy, even Rosie can be a little nippy sometime but never puts pressure unless I continue to do what ever I was doing to her despite her asking me to stop.

[aether-drifter]

I just found out for sure that it's a male. His name is Boris (the Pink).
