Rose Breasted Cockatoo General Info

The Rose Breasted Cockatoo is most commonly known as the Galah, and it’s one of the most unique, widespread and popular parrots in the large and diverse cockatoo family. This bird stands apart with its distinct and beautiful plumage, as well as with its fun and lovable temperament. Although very peculiar, this parrot is one of the most common sights in its natural home and has become a popular and loved choice for a pet parrot. Let’s meet the Galah! Galahs are unique and lovely members of the cockatoo family. There’s so much to love about them.

Native Region/Natural Habitat

Galahs are native to almost the entire Australian continent, with only a few small regions as an exception. With such an impressive distribution, the populations of these parrots are steadily rising and have adapted to live in most conditions. They can be seen in the wilderness but in major Australian cities as well. In Melbourne, Perth, and Adelaide, small flocks of Galah cockatoos are a loved and common sight.

Overall Description

These bright and lively cockatoos are unique but still share a plenty of traits with the rest of their family. They have slender, graceful and proportionate bodies, with the distinct cockatoo crest on their head. The adults reach an average length of 14 inches (35 centimeters) and can weigh up to 12 ounces (350 grams). Although seemingly identical, the males and females have one tiny difference – the color of the irises!

Speech and Sounds

The first thing you learn about cockatoos is that they simply love to be loud- they are nagging talkers with a big appetite for noisy behavior. Galahs, on the other hand, can be significantly quieter than their relatives, owing to their shyer demeanor. But they’ll still love to talk and mimic human speech in their own peculiar and endlessly funny way. These intelligent parrots never fail to surprise you with a new word or a new way of getting what they want. Due to their possible noisiness, Galahs and cockatoos, in general, are not the best choice for apartment birds.
