I have met 4 'bird people', asking what bird would best suit me and my family (once again, please don't get mad) and every single one of them said that a Galah or Corella would be perfect. But when i come on AA, everyone says the opposite (your all great, just so you know
.
I really would love a Galah, and this is also not going to happen for at least a year. I have tried to get into something smaller and easier all round really, but i just keep coming back to a Galah. I love everything about them. Their playfulness, their cuddliness and also how they are a little more independent than the others. I know they can become phobic and can be really quite loud, but i just feel deeply connected to them.
The first person i spoke to was my Uncle, he has many birds at the Cuddly Animal Farm in The Swan Valley (WA), and said that a Galah would be perfect for me. I've asked him about many breeds, but he always comes back to a Galah.
Then i went to Birds n all, they also recommended a Galah
(they were a store, however).
After them, i met Justin (i referred to him as 'bird man' in earlier posts)
He owned some lories, Eclectus, a king parrot and 2 Caiques.
He told me Caiques were wonderful, but he also said he would love a Galah, however, he's allergic to their dust.
Finally, I went to The bird and fish place (at the foot of Perth Hills) They didn't breed Galahs, so weren't trying to sell me anything. All they said was that Galahs are wonderful, gentle natured, playful birds and make great companions.
I am a minor,I have been looking into a companion bird for at least 2 years so far and have always Loved the Galah, my mum is 2nd owner if anything happens to me, i am currently saving up and reading lots of bird books.
I just want some opinions on all this.
thanks,
