Hey it's Bec,

Shay and Dek have 2 unreleasable female pink and greys.

If any other Bird Breeders are following us, I was wandering if anyone has an extra unrelated boy please?

Shay will definitely be keeping hers, but maybe we could trade our second girl, and give them all a full life? 🤔

Please message the page if you can help. Thanks xx

CAT ENCLOSURE $$$: The South West Catchments Council (SWCC) is offering $200 dollar rebates for cat owners to build or buy enclosures to keep their pets from roaming.

The South West Catchments Council says there's been an increase in people looking for information on enclosures, so their cats can stay on their property but still go outside.

The council says enclosures protect wildlife, prevent cat fights, and help cats live longer.

Murdoch University conservation biologist, Heather Crawford, says cats can adapt - but need to introduce the change slowly.

She says as more councils introduce laws to keep cats on properties, enclosures will become more common.

This is Harley & Marley my Pink n Grey Galah's, here's 5 fun facts about them.🪶

1. Galahs help with seed dispersal
Galahs are seed-eaters, so are often seen feeding on grass seeds on the ground. They also eat seeds from many Australian shrubs and trees, including Acacias (Wattles) and Casuarinas (She-oak). They are important seed dispersers – many seeds germinate after galahs carry them to another site, and then drop them intact or partially-eaten.

2. Huge flocks of pink Galah's can travel and roost in flocks of 1000 birds. It is an impressive sight, especially at dawn and sunset – their bright pink breasts glow in the warm light.
Galahs are very fast – they are known to fly at 70km/hr. They are powerful and acrobatic, and think nothing of doing loop-the-loops, and ducking through branches at speed, all in a show of their aerial mastery. To see a huge flock of galahs flying like daredevils, high and low, at great speed, is one of the great sights of Australia.

3. Loving families
Galah pairs share the nesting and parenting duties of their offspring, and baby Galahs stay with their parents for months or years. Galahs are monogamous and mate for life. The male Galah chirps and screeches in an effort to impress the female while courting. Galahs make their nests in hollow parts of trees – in spring it is not uncommon to see adult galahs entering or renovating hollows.

4. Pink for Girls
You can tell a female Galah by the colour of her eyes: just remember “pink for girls”. Female galahs have pink eyes. Males and young birds have dark brown eyes.

5. Aboriginal Origin of the word Galah
Galah (gilaa) is the bird’s Yuwaalaraay Aboriginal language name. The Yuwaalaraay are a tribe from northern New South Wales, around the area of Lightning Ridge.

The word galah is also used in Australia for a silly person, a bit of a clown. This is thought to have come from the silly antics of Galah birds. Though highly intelligent, galahs often play the fool – hanging upside-down on branches, sliding down wires, tumbling and wrestling each other on the ground, doing somersaults and playing with toys.

Advice from an expert, on introducing hand raised Weiros, into your family:

"The best way to hand raise birds is for people to let them fly in their homes, and want to 'come to people freely'. Remove them from their parents as soon as possible.

Then raise them with love to a point where another family can take on the next phase of training.

*Training the bird to fit into they're family, training to accept and love an entirely new people.

Now imagine yourself in a new environment, with people you've only known for a few days and their big hand comes towards your head, of course your going to get skittish until you learn that they're not going to hurt you.

Do your own research into the family group of birds which you've purchased. Weiros will often pick one or two people in a home that they feel most comfortable with, and everyone else will get the cold shoulder. It can often mean them biting the unwanted person.

This no one person can tell you who it will happen to, because it's the bird who chooses. It may be the opposite s*x to which they are.

So maybe instead of purchasing something and complaining for invalid reasons, try researching first and finding out the best fit for your family.

Also it's not like a car where the computer comes pre programmed with all its functions, it's a living animal who does and will think and act for itself.

Don't pick on a breeder who clearly has provided a beautiful bird for you to enjoy 👌

Have a lovely night and please enjoy the treasure you have brought into your home".
