wakeboard1980 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Being biased but the top row look awesome. We (my parents) hav had 2 Galahas over the years. Their current one, the 2nd, has to be over 10 years old now I think. I have said to my wife that I want to get our daughter a bird as her first pet. How would I go about getting a galah over here?

Cassie is very naughty, mouth like a fish wife lmao..Found outside in the winter near a fishing lake, so she does shout a lot!! xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you planning on moving back to Aus at any point? If so you'd not be able to take a bird with you. Galah's are pretty long lived iirc. I've seen them for sale here from about £500 upwards I don't get why we sell these birds tbh. I see some parrots for sale for almost £1400 and all they do is spend their life in a cage.

Dawny Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 No Snifter, happy settled back here now, may visit Australia again at some point.. You do see a lot of Galahs advertised here, but very expensive..£850 upwards... Lilly is only around 6 years old, Cassie the macaw from a baby can be sold for around£1300, and live into the 80s, people want the fancy bird and don't like it when they prefer someone else in the family or they may bite, so they just can't be bothered with them any more! Most of ours are free flying except henri who is nasty and will dive bomb and attack. poor boy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawny Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 We are in the NW, Chester area. You can register with some of the bird rehoming charities, birdline, charge a yearly membership etc, but so many birds on there, also preloved, gumtree sadly have lots of scammers on their pet sections and are best to be avoided, also if you are on facebook, there are several bird pages on there for buying and selling, there is a guy i know named stuart who breeds Galah's, not sure if he has any at the mo but i can ask for you x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
