Galah For Sale Adelaide

Are you from Adelaide and looking to own a Galah for a pet? Visit our store in Elizabeth South. Please be warned and read the information below.

Galahs are naturally destructive and noisy.

Adolescent Galahs are prone to behavioural problems; they will become noisy, aggressive, and destructive if not provided enough physical or emotional support. At sexual maturity, some individuals may develop seasonal behavioral problems such as aggression and become challenging to manage. They can develop additional issues of biting and screaming.

99.99% of these Galahs sold in Australian markets are trapped from the wild, and 50-60% of them, including cockatoos and corellas, carry a severe and incurable disease called ‘Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease (PBFD). Irrespective of whether you are told that a bird is bred in captivity, it is improbable that it will be.

Common Health Problems Galah Bird

Galahs are prone to health problems that can kill them within a few months once the virus takes place. Below are some of the health issues that a Galah can have genetically.

Self- Mutilation and Feather Picking Galah Bird

Self-mutilation is a disorder where a bird chews on its own flesh, resulting in nerves and tissue being damaged. It causes increased discomfort, which may cause the bird to chew even more.

Both disorders can be caused by household stress, boredom, or sexual frustration.

Feather picking not attributed to a medical cause is an obsessive-compulsive disorder in which a Galah picks at, plucks out, or chews on its feathers.

Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease (PBFD)

PBFD is caused by a circovirus that attacks the cells of the immune system and cells that produce the beak and feathers. It essentially results in poor feather growth and feathers that don’t replace themselves when they fall out. In addition, the beak may become fragile and won’t repair itself.

The virus targets the center of the developing bird’s immune system; infected birds often become immunocompromised and die of secondary infections, either bacterial, viral, or fungal. Currently, there is no known cure for PBFD. Infected birds usually die up to a year after showing clinical symptoms of the disease.
