The clipped parrot is forced not only to be caged, a pet, etc. My flighted parrots are given many many choices because they can choose to fly away if they don't like it. But when it comes to clipping, that is physically manipulating their physiology and changing their mobility entirely. Potentially we can make their life very good and that's the goal. Now it's debatable how aware of the longer term ramifications they are when they go in but I'm sure how good vs bad the gauge is goes into their decision when going in voluntarily.īeing our pet or in our house may not be their choice. They fly to me and beg me to put them in. My parrots go into their cages very willingly. Restricting a parrot to a cage or house is not a parrot's choice, either.Īctually it's a lot more of a choice. It's not a choice the parrot is involved in." Graybeard wrote:"The parrot has no say at all. Likewise, just because the parrots don't need flight all the time doesn't mean you have any valid justification in taking it away from them entirely. Just because I sit in the office working most of the day does not mean I don't like to go for a walk in the evening and move about. This is absolutely no excuse to clip them and limit them flight the other time. It is to an extent but when combined with daily opportunities to fly, quite healthy and safe. What’s the difference between a Galah and a cockatoo Most Cockatoos tend to be white, thus making it an odd subject to look at a Galah and think they’re one of them. Thus if the cage provides ample space, climbing, foraging, and play opportunities, it is not terribly confining. If food is more sparse they'll move around for food but if they can get it in one place they will remain there. In the wild they may make a mile long commute (or whatever the length is depending on species) to their favorite foraging tree and spend the rest of the day eating/foraging/playing there. ![]() Neither at home nor in the wild do they spend all day flying. Last night Kili flew over a mile in 50 back and forth 60ft flight recalls. Although they cannot fly for miles in a straight line, they can achieve that by going back and forth. The time spent in the cage is comparable to us spending time in our room. When you look at the size of the bird's cage relative to body size, it is about proportionate as our "room" is to us. How big does a bird's jail have to be, in proportion to its size, to make indoor flight worthwhile? How you jail your bird is less important than why you have it at all. Unless it has total free flight, to come and go to its house for meals, meetups and safe sleep, its life is that of a prisoner.

A Galah cockatoo is very playful and a little hyperactive. Umbrella Cockatoos) but of course there are individual differences. Most Galah’s are not very cuddly birds (unlike e.g. Like all species of cockatoo these birds are capable of screaming very loudly, but in practice they do not do this as often as other species of cockatoo. They are not very big, making it easier to give them a nice aviary or big cage. A Galah as a petĪ Galah is a nice bird to keep as a pet, if you give it the proper care and housing.

The Galah is most related to the white cockatoo species and corellas, but from all of them it is the most distantly related. This species occurs mostly in the open field and sleep in trees in this field. They have grown more abundant by human influences, because they eat crops and make use of the cattle drinking ponds/wells. ![]() They are very abundant and can be seen in big groups in open fields.
