The populations of all four species have either been stable or increased over the past ten years, although there has been a slight recent decline in abundance of Sulphur-crested Cockatoos. The Arthur Rylah Institute for Environmental Research (ARI) estimates state-wide populations of 13.9 million Galahs, 7.7 million Sulphur-crested Cockatoos, 5.2 million Long-billed Corellas and 2.9 million Little Corellas.

If he doesn't want to do something right then, that's ok! Try coming back in a few minutes or later on. Make it worth his time by rewarding him with treats! You wouldn't work a dead end job if it didn't pay you any money, don't make your bird do things it doesn't want to without making it worth it! If he doesn't understand what it is you want him to do, then try teaching him rather than forcing him to do it. I know, easier said than done! When you learn to avoid the bites, the birds learn they don't have to bite in order to communicate with you, and will use more subtle ways of communication again. The trick is is to learn to read a bird's body language and learn to back off before the bite occurs, thus avoiding the bite altogether. The only bite that can't be rewarded is the bite that never occurs. The bird has simply given up trying to communicate with you because you are too thick-headed to "listen". When you constantly ignore these signals, the bird may stop trying to tell you to back off and simply go for the bite! This is where "bites out of no-where" occur. When you ignore these signals, it leads to a bite. Birds will warn you with pinned eyes, neck feathers ruffled, beak open, wide stance, wings possibly spread out a little to the side to back off. Hate to say it, but that's just a bad idea and may be why he's becoming more aggressive!īiting is an extreme form of communication. I am going to spam a few photos of him too
Apartment living with a galah cockatoo free#
I frantically grabbed him by his wing as he was flapping and it was a very traumatic experience for the both of us.Īnyway, as i said feel free to ask more information. I have finally come looking for help because yesterday as i went to put food in his foraging tray he launched out of his cage and straight onto my face, biting my lip in the process ("GET OUT OF MY ROOM, DAD"). He loves kisses, rolling around in my lap and flying back and forth to me but he has also always had a nasty bite and not been afraid to use it. Tycho came from a less-than-ideal breeder and has always been pretty nervous and jumpy yet still affectionate. I won't make this post too in depth but feel free to ask for more info. Any tips and advice would be very appreciated.
I am new to the forum and tried to find this thread before posting but didn't see it. Whilst he may not literally be a teenager, my 2 year old male Galah Tycho is beginning to act like one.
