Description
Scientific Name: Eolophus roseicapilla Native Range: Australia The Rose-Breasted Cockatoo, commonly known as the Galah, is a small cockatoo species within the family Cacatuidae. It is characterized by its soft pink breast and face, light pink to white crest, and contrasting gray wings and back. This species is monomorphic, with males and females appearing visually similar apart from subtle differences in eye color. Rose-Breasted Cockatoos inhabit a wide range of environments across Australia, including open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and urban areas. At Parrot Stars, we prioritize education, welfare, and responsible parrot ownership to help ensure every bird finds and thrives in a forever home. Before taking home any parrot, we provide comprehensive guidance on proper caging and setup, positive reinforcement training, household safety, nutrition, and enrichment. Parrots in captivity are still wild animals with all their natural instincts. Your overall success and experience with any species of companion parrot is greatly impacted by positive reinforcement training. A parrot’s behavior reflects both the environment they live in and the training they receive. All of our hand-fed babies are hatched and raised in our own breeding facility and weaned onto a diverse, high-variety diet. Our parrots are never clipped and are fully flighted.
