[@TropicalAviaryBirds]

Thank you very much🙏😉

[@lindabell9235]

A very enjoyable video thanks; it was nice seeing the galahs. I have a 21 year old green cheeked conure who was hand reared and he gets along well with the rest of the family, including dogs and cats! Looking forward to your next vid Torben ☺️

[@TropicalAviaryBirds]

Thanks, Linda 🤝😉 Wow! An old conure you have! I know the major mitchells can get 80 years old - so also long time planning is needed there 😳😉 Next video is comming soon. A status on all the breeding 😉

[@lindabell9235]

I think he's a pretty good age for a GCC too. Guess I must be doing something right 😁! All of your birds are amazing and if I didn't live so far away (Scotland) I would love to visit your aviary. Watching all of your videos is the next best thing though.

@@lindabell9235 Thanks! And if you ever come to DK - just let me know 😉

Wow

[@anserbauer309]

I really enjoyed your video. It's interesting to me you describe them as "tropical birds" when most galahs and Major Mitchell's live below the Tropic of Capricorn (though they also live above it). They both breed well in Mediterranean and temperate climates, though Major Mitchell's do prefer semi-arid environments. There are many galahs breeding at this time of year in South West Victoria where I live and we get overnight temperatures below freezing through the Winter time. Today it's Spring and the maximum daytime temperature is just 12*C! Overnight average is about 5*C. I'm also wondering if you give your cockatoos animal protein and lipids when they are breeding, since both species consume insects in the wild and Major Michell's are among the most omnivorous of the cockatoos, with tree-grubs forming an important part of heir diet; especially when breeding.

[@TropicalAviaryBirds]

Thank you very much for these details. And yes - a bit strange to put them as tropical birds. Though, in Denmark - we would call all birds of eg Australia and Africa for tropical😉 I dont keep the galahs myself - but with regards to the major m c I provide lots of protein in the form of egg food and/or frozen insects (I mainly use for the softbills) - and the absolutely love it. From another breeder I also learned that they sometimes eat smaller birds if they find them dead inside the aviary. 😅 Thanks!

[@anserbauer309]

@@TropicalAviaryBirds It's wonderful to know they are getting such a great diet and that they have access to insect food as well as egg. In the wild, you can watch the major Mitchell's chewing through dead branches to dig out the fat, wood-boring insect larvae inside. Galahs and corellas on the other hand, prefer insect larvae living in the ground and dig them out from among the grass roots. I have galahs and corellas in my garden every day at this time of year. They like the shorter lawn grass where they can find plenty of cricket nymphs and lawn beetle grubs to feed their chicks. They spend a lot of time feeding among my flocks of geese and ducks; I think they feel safer with so many eyes to watch the sky.... and geese with babies are too aggressive for most of our predators to attack.

hi Torben it is save Galah parrot same place with a cardinal?

[@TropicalAviaryBirds]

Hi - I have had major mitchell with breeding red crested cardinal - but it is important that them cockatoos cannot get to the nest as they would otherwise ruin it and eat chicks…. Have never had a galah, so I really dont know. But would at least make sure the cardinal nest was in a cage or something safe from the larger birds.

[@Phoenix.Sparkles]

Vidste ikke der overhovedet var major cockatoo i Danmark, meget smukke fugle når deres fjerdragt ellers bliver passet

[@TropicalAviaryBirds]

Ja, de er bestemt heller ikke særlig udbredt, men der er efterhånden flere par hos forskellige opdrættere.

[@malenethomse3155]

Hvor gamle er dit par?

[@malenethomse3155]

Inkaerne

[@TropicalAviaryBirds]

Hej, mit eget par er snart 2 og 4 år. Hannen er ældst.
