Galahs as first birds/How loud are galahs

Responding to the topic of galahs as pets/first birds with the help of my galah Merlin who demonstrates how loudly they can scream.

Are galahs dusty like the white cockatoo??

[Melqueenofevil]

@sprinky311 VERY.  Morgy actually changes the colour of my top after a cuddle. It's like cuddling a sack of flour sometimes!!!

Hi can you plzz do a video on goffin cockatoos??? Thanks

[Melqueenofevil]

@sprinky311 Sorry - I've looked into it, but no one near me has one!!!

great video. ive been considering an eclectus baby joining a 1-2 yr old King parrot female. I concluded I didnt have double the time to spend with birds, so it would mean the current girls interaction time would be halved if I went ahead, and I think more quality time is better than te bonus of a room mate that she might not even get along with. Do yours get on well?

@justinblackburne I also have an eclectus - amazing birds. He has actually taught a wild pair of king parrots to talk. (Very confusing when you hear your bird's voice coming from a rooftop!!!) Beautiful birds but you're right about the time... They really crave attention!

You both are so pretty! I'm wolfy from AA. Dude, i had NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO idea. I mean the consensus on the net is the Galah is the quietest of toos!!! OMG. I have a Goffin and no doubt their volume and tone is way more tolerable. Of course everyone is different. I mean I have trouble with the high pitched piercing stuff like with conures. Yet an umbie doens't bother me as much. So thanks for this video. So helpful.

I'd like to thank you for posting this video. You see, Im a smidge obsessed with galahs, and I have been listening to your boys screams full volume. Very nice I must say.

Love this video :D really good to give people a little bit of a taste of what owning a parrot is before people jump into it!

[justinblackburne]

Thanks Mel. great advice.

My first bird is sure a learning experience. Its great to speak with other parrot lovers. With Rosie, we go walking for a few kms at a time, the beach, drives, and even go into Bunnings!, but she has her wings fully clipped, so Im not stressed.

I think if something happened to Rosie, Id look at an Eclectus. If I didnt play so much playstation, I could manage 2 birds :)

@justinblackburne It does vary. The two you see in this video were very well-bonded but Merlin was a lot more hyper than Morgy. I got another hyper galah who instantly bonded to Merlin. Morgy is much happier caged on her own now. Merlin and the new bird (Nemo) are now constantly together. All three have out of cage time together and it's fine - as long as they have their separate space to go back to. I have a 4th who is severely disabled, who is in a neighboring cage and talks to them.
