Is this for real, or a joke???? I'm not saying I'm for it or against it, just in a bit of shock.

lol they only crossed over recently(and on accident). galatiels are very real

Here's my friends male cockatiel bowing to Rosie, he would get low then stand very tall with heart wings LOL Rosie was unamused haha. We had them together for photos last Christmas.

still trying to impress Rosie as she steals his seed

ok... time to give up little guy haha

LOL. I guess she doesn't go for little men.

wow! That's so strange! Why would they do that? Or did the galah and the cockatiel just fall in love?

It wouldn't happen in the wild.

I'm not an advocate of parrot hybrids, but here's a link to some other interesting cockatoo hybrids. You always hear about the various macaw hybrids, but not cockatoos as much.

The citron/galah mix is beautiful.

Copper, our whiteface 'tiel Ariel behaves like that with our male eccy, Alex. Alex has been very amorous with my hand of late- Ariel comes right in and wants a scratch with that hand- if I try to scratch with my spare hand, he bites it This has been going on for years, they are much the same age and have been hanging out together for 3 years or so.

As for 'tiel/galah crosses I read somewhere the other day that they have been noted to have occured in the wild, can't remember where I read it now. Galah/corella hybrids certainly occur- the two species readily flock together and occasional breed also.

I'm not sure I like the idea of hybrids created by human intervention but that is one pretty birdy!
