Is this a Galah? Weird colors.

I've never seen a Galah with white in place of the grey.

Ok I just answered my own question. I guess they are called Lutino Galahs.

That's a Major Mitchell's cockatoo, not a galah lol.

But there are lutino galahs who have white instead of grey

Oh my bad. The photo called it a Galah so I assumed it was some strange hybrid of one lol. I'm not as educated on all the different types of birds as I'd like to be. I only know of hand full that you usually see for sale in the pet hobby. And I've only kept about 3 different kinds over the span of my life time. XD

No worries, so many people misidentify Major Mitchell's as a galah lol. Major Mitchell's have AMAZING crest, really beautiful birds!

Yes that is correct!

Yup, it's a major mitchell/leadbeater's cockatoo.

There ARE lutino galahs, though.

Actually got to meet a Major Mitchell this afternoon, a stunning bird although this particular one was only interested in sulking at the back of his cage so no chance of seeing the magnificent crest. I was surprised how much bigger he was than a galah - I thought they were similar with the MM a little chunkier, but this fella was much larger, kind of like a barn owl that had been put through the wash with a red sock. Awesome bird, anyway.

For those interested.... found a picture someone made of a major mitchell and a lutino galah cropped together. (two photos in one)

Was browsing through a Facebook user's images for something else (conure related) and saw this image!
