These parrots might be considered a high maintenance pet. If occasionally neglected, the rose-breasted cockatoo might become depressed or destructive. These birds like to group into larger flocks, frequently with Sulphur Crested Cockatoos. These social creatures like to nest in tree cavities, laying white eggs which incubate for about 25 days. Chicks leave the nest approximately 50 days after hatching. Cockatoos need nothing but the biggest of cages.

The more space that you provide for your feathered friend, the better in the long-term. At the very least, buy a cage about 90 x 70 x 120 cm. Consider adding a parrot stand or a Java tree so that your bird can enjoy climbs. Mind stimulating toys are a good idea. Buy bird puzzles, foraging toys, chewy toys, and anything else that will keep your parrot happy. Rose-breasted cockatoos are some of the loudest of all the parrots on the planet.

Behavior of the Rose Breasted Cockatoo For-Sale

They sometimes make loud, screaming noises in communication with one another and in just having fun. Most Rose-Breasted Cockatoos (Galah’s) are not very cuddly birds, but this tendency may vary by individual. A Galah can create a fairly high-pitched “Chet Chet” type sound in the wild. They make an even louder screech once threatened, when fighting, or when having fun. These birds are well-known as clever and can learn to talk, or even mimic people’s voices.

Feeding

This species of parrots typically feed on the ground. They gather a range of seeds, including grasses and cereals. In warmer weather, groups of Galahs often spend much of the day sheltering in trees and shrubs. Galah are both widespread and abundant, they are not thought to be at risk of extinction. In the last century, their population and range have increased, perhaps due to the growth of agriculture. This agriculture has created new areas of habitat, which have provided excellent food sources for these birds.
