- Hey guys,
today we are doing a video
on the different types of Galahs.
Now this is pretty new information to me because we're not
really talking about it in the United States.
So I asked Mel, do you think we can do a video
showing the two types that you have?
And she said, she didn't say anything.
She shrugged and left the room.
I think she's grabbing Galahs.
I don't know how this is gonna go, but they said
be ready with the camera.
(upbeat techno music)
Oh, you got three.
I thought you were only bringing two.
- You got...
(bird wings flapping)
(laughing)
(bird squawking)
- It's his common call.
- Really?
- Yeah. So he's the Western
- He's, the top one is Western. What's the bottom one?
- We think he's the Northern.
- And what do you have?
- Eastern.
(bird squawking)
- Wow. Didn't realize you had that many
- Cocky 4, Morky 5, Holly's visiting,
so that's 6.
Yeah. 6 Galahs here today.
- Yep might be good on your face.
(imitation of ringing telephone)
Good work.
- What is that? Is that him?
- That's him doing this imitation to the telephone.
(ringing and squawking)
Scratch, telephone.
Anything for almonds.
- [Bird] Hello?
- Hello.
- [Bird] Hello?
- Hello.
(ringing imitation)
What sound is telephone?
(ringing imitation)
Yeah, very good. (laughing)
Well, obviously I've got quite a few Galahs
around the house at the moment, including some
of the different subspecies. Merlin here on my left,
AKA, the fake telephone, is a Western Galah.
So it's one of the three subspecies.
You can tell he's a Western because
(a) his crest is actually a slightly darker pink
than these other guys.
And if you look at around the eyes, it's a gray color.
So all those bumps are gray
and his cheeks are actually framed by the extra long crest.
So they look almost extra rosy. Hello.
Down here, we have Cocky and Cocky is a Northern Galah.
He is a slightly smaller framed body,
so here's a little bit lighter than these other guys,
and the bumps around his eyes are bright red.
On my left hand shoulder,
we have Ralphie. Ralphie would traditionally
be called an Eastern Galah.
Interestingly Ralphie's eyes actually have
the red bumps too.
(bird squawking)
He's got a lot of feather dust,
there will toned down to gray.
He's actually a very big bird.
These actually tend to be a little bit bigger.
The females you will find almost don't have bumps
around the eyes. Quite frankly, it's just a graying.
We know Margie is female because her color is red.
As opposed to the males whose eye color is almost black,
or can be dark brown.
You can be fooled into thinking when you actually
have a girl because they don't change eye color
Nemo, who's in the other room.
Could've sworn he was a boy.
(bird squawking)
Yeah, I know.
It's 'cause I've got all the nuts, isn't it?
(laughing)
