The Rose Breasted Cockatoos are striking birds. The Rose Breasted Cockatoo is native to Australia where it is known as the “Galah”. These birds are extremely playful and intelligent and need constant stimulation with toys to play with, and objects to chew, to keep them from getting bored.

Temperament and Behavior

Rose-breasted cockatoos are prone to form bonds with a specific individual but exposing them to a varied group of people from an early age can get them to become more social. Without adequate attention, they can become rather aggressive and unpleasant.

A hand-reared rose breasted cockatoo will start to consider itself more a human than a bird. When startled, excited, or angry, a galah will warn you amply with the show of the crest, which becomes erect. This trait of their behavior can be easily avoided if the bird has enough toys to play with.

Both sexes of the galah cockatoo are good talkers. The males especially can be taught to talk very easily.

Feeding Rose Breasted Cockatoo 

Feed galahs a balanced diet. High-quality formulated pellets have been developed to meet all your bird’s nutritional needs. At least 50 percent of your bird’s diet should be in pellet form. The other half of their diet should be fruits and vegetables. Start by feeding 1/4 cup of pellets and 1/4 cup of fresh salad daily. Incrementally increase as needed.

Great choices for fresh vegetables include leafy greens such as Swiss chard, kale, Chinese cabbage, and romaine; root vegetables; peppers; zucchini; green beans; and sprouts. They love most fruits and berries. Give walnuts, almonds, and pecans sparingly as training treats. Freshwater should be available at all times.
