Galah Cockatoo, The Best Pet Parrot?

[@Fivesaflock]

Galah Cockatoo Owners! What has been your experience owning these clowns?

[@itz_shadow_bih7295]

I actually go to omars and i met that exact galah she is so sweet

[@geoffreygiles1319]

That bird is stressed. I am from Aust. and have galah's. When there beaks are open and they are breathing like that they are stressed.

[@jancovanderwesthuizen8070]

Hardly surprising with an obnoxious American shouting in his ears 😅 But I guess that gives parrots a taste of their own medicine

[@MsActor2009]

Correct, and he refers to it as “this thing” when it’s a bird. And you should never buy them from a pet store. Adopt, not shop. Very naive review!

[@eleanor8003]

And who "reviews" a parrot like a video game....

[@lorishantler8399]

Possibly his highly animated voice and movements ....and loud ..he's also borrowing it from his favorite pet store so totally different environment and perching with a loud stranger

[@Caroline-tb8eh]

exactly my thoughts

[@ezalator9653]

Not a big deal but how we pronounce them in Australia is like galaaaah. With a big emphasis on the final a. Not a big deal just putting it out there :)

[@marcclemente9335]

i live near a large animal sanctuary in Victoria, Australia. A lot of the birds in there are varieties of cockatoos including galahs. A lot of the birds outlived their owners who did not have plans in place for the bird once they died. It is important to remember when buying these birds that you have a next of kin included in your will in order for your bird to to not end up in a position of distressing your bird too much.

[@robynegan2054]

I'm really concerned about the panting of this bird, yes they do pant, but not for an extended time. I know this video was made over a year ago, hope this lil one is ok

[@clariceparrot3592]

Fellow Galah owner here. I would say this is spot on. My nugget is very demanding and it took her awhile to warm up. She wants constant attention and stimulation. These birds will keep you on your tippy toes. Though if you are willing to put in the time, great companion. Any pet should be part of your family. The Galah assumes she is 😅

[@Aclownin1]

My son's nanday thinks she's a toddler and has to get under the blankets and cuddle me for about 30 minutes or she gets pissed about going to bed. Lol

[@wendymyers3944]

I have one and we just love her ❤️ She only nips when she is scared 😱. She doesn't break the skin. She just loves everyone in the family even people she has never seen she will fly right over lol.lol

[@aussiejoker2031]

I have a hand-raised "Kuhli Galah" which is about 2-3 inches smaller than an "Eastern Galah" I bought 4 years ago for $450 there is a shit load of them in Australia.....2-4 hours a day out of his cage is all he wants before he wants to go back in they love their alone time as well.

[@KarinJoeDave]

Good, balanced review of the pluses and minuses

[@Hootiefish]

Australian here, love your videos. First time I’ve heard it pronounced guh-luh. Maybe it’s pronounced differently elsewhere 😂. But yeah usually pronounced ga-la, really emphasising the a’s. Also, there’s a bunch of these guys who just live around my area, they’re super cute when they fly down to drink from my dams. Absolutely adorable birds.

[@Fivesaflock]

You're right about pronunciation lol. This is just the way I've heard it pronounced around here but maybe I should've looked it up first

[@Hootiefish]

@@Fivesaflock No no, trust me the pronunciation doesn’t matter at all haha. Absolutely loved the video, you covered everything. Very nicely done.

[@cinogen2]

Mate, his galah will talk American .

[@ripkirby4872]

Gall-r or Gull-r or even glar. I am from Oz and I have had 2 and just started raising the third. They love to eat your woodwork in the house. I just fitted a "sacrificial" top cornice around my oak kitchen cupboards. Bit of a bugga when you forget to turn off the ceiling fans and they want to fly around the house!

[@davviisr7123]

Thanks for covering all the parrots 🦜 super relaxing videos. Keep up the good work my man 😬😬

[@WorldMoviesCentral]

It's pronounced Ga-LAH with emphasis on the second syllable. I'm lucky to live in an area of South Australia where these fellas are everywhere and are crazy birds in a good way. They are often seen hanging upside down during a rainshower, which allows for the cleaning of their feathers. I once knew a lady who was given a Galah chick in 1925 when she was 5 years old. She lived to be 85, and the bird outlived her for another 4 years...

[@bookshunt2410]

Take a look at the Twenty Eight parrot native to Western Australia, awesome bird. Not really a talker, but will give kisses and hang with you just about all day long, so long as you hand raise them from a young age. They are nice looking parrots and great companions. My rescue boy used to sit on my shoulder while I rode along on the tractor and planted new trees, he loved it, until at three years old he flew off with a female who kept visiting him. All my medium sized parrots used to go in the car with me and perch on the head piece of my drivers' seat, they used to go to the pet cafe when it was open and sit on my shoulder often when I went out. They now inhabit a huge flight aviary in my backyard. They take turns visiting me inside and having days with Mum. 😄

[@sophiethehuman4469]

Great video. Really informative and full of great unsight into these birds 😄 however, your pronunciation of the name galah is maddening haha

[@ammarfirdaus6741]

Hi! Is it possible that you can review pigeons? They are really cute and cuddly and probably good for beginners.

[@Fivesaflock]

That would be really awesome! But pigeons aren't common here, at least as far as I know. I'll have to look into it.

[@bookshunt2410]

Galahs here in Australia hang out in flocks of hundreds to thousands. I own 4, some rescue of which I've owned for nearly ten years, one of which was raised from 6 weeks old . They are highly affectionate and comical creatures, however a word of advice on pronunciation, I hear you saying it in the way you would pronounce a gala (festival), however it's pronounced evenly Gaalaah as in ga ga ga, la la la, G a l a h. Beautiful young Galah there. Cheers.

Another aussie here, i had a galah since i was a Child, it would nibble on my ear for hours while I read comics on the bed. Later got one so smart, it would watch how we locked the cage, then we would find it sitting on the cage when we got home. Plenty of wild ones everywhere here in Brisbane.

[@xenon-778]

[@davdav8709]

$3000+ USD for a galah, when i can go and catch them for free in my backyard in Australia, in my town we have large flocks of galahs, little corella's, sulphur crested cockatoos since theres lots of cereal crops and grain depots, we also get rosella's, king, princess and superb parrots and cockatiels in smaller numbers

[@Mapmoyle]

Our galah is now 50 years and going strong. He loves eating anything you are eating - his favourite snack is a chicken bone from a roast. Everything goes into the water dish to soften before he eats it - including the metal springs on wooden clothes pegs. His bites go to the bone when he's unhappy. Your bird there looks hot or stressed with all that panting.

[@felipejunqueira7488]

Mine is the most cuddled parrot one can have. He sleeps in my hand. Well not in the begining but day after day. But I guess I was Lucky.

We have been doing our research. Once we have finished buying our house we are going to be hopefully getting one of these as we want a long lived parrot, that is on the larger side but that is also super friendly and a bit of an asshole.

Hi Coro, I just made a deposit on an umbrella cockatoo. I researched this for years, as this is my dream pet. I do live in an apartment, but the building is family owned so I’m not worried about a landlord. However, can you give me your opinion on if the bird will disrupt my pack ? ( 2 dogs, 3 cats, a tortoise and turtle ) Thus is my dream and I’m turning 35 in two weeks. I felt it was now or never, I don’t wanna be in my 40s raising a bird. She will be a few months old when I pick her up in October. Please give me all your advice and opinion ! Thank you xx

Excellent review, just what I needed. From what I understand, unfortunately, the galah is not the bird for me. I also own a cat, and my cat used to live on the street before we rescued him, which probably meant he fed on mice and birds to survive.

[@drfill9210]

Couple of things mate, not sure what your pet store told you, but I'm not sure that bird is 100% galah... i think it's a cross with a sulphur. If the store said they lived from 50 t 70 years, that makes sense. Sulphur crested cockatoos live from 50 to 100 years (!), and galahs are a little less than that. Also. I'm very grateful you call it a galah, more often, Americans call them rose breasted cockatoos- something they are never called over here, but your pronunciation needs some work. The way you said it is the way an Aussie would say "gala". We don't emphasise the "a" in the beginning of the word. It's not a perfect analogy, but if you pronounced it a if it rhymed with "blah" possibly even a shortened "yada"... Finally, DEFINITELY let kids interact with these things. BUT they need to be supervised and taught, just like learning any other skill. Leaving a kid alone with any animal is a recipe for disaster. One last thing.... learn to build! All the stuff i have for my birds is home made. A perch is a stick! The seeds with wood chips is a good idea.

[@charliethecockatoo2159]

I would say that parrots tend to not appreciate the types of gestures you're making, especially so close to their faces. Aside from that, as others have said the pronunciation is guh-laa. This is elementary-level information that you've clearly just grabbed from Wikipedia and/or overviews which are easily Googled. Very low effort. Can I ask why the bird was panting this entire video? It seems genuinely uncomfortable.

[@russellreading-xi7fe]

That's right .. is Galaah not Gals .. ther're very bright (can con & outhink a dog .. flying primates really ) .. this one here seems t😮o be beak breathing .. not agood sign of health.
