Not if you have it from very young - but they take up loong time. Easier to have a pair - both hand raised, then they will remain quite tame but not in need of human company all time.
It's actually disturbing for the parents when the chicks are abruptly taken. No body ever talks about the down side of this and what it does to the birds, including the babies. In it for the money?? I wonder......
Hi! Very good understanding you have 🤷 This breeder has some pairs where the male destoys the eggs. Hence, he monitor and tries to take them before they are destroyed. With the pairs who can actually take care of eggs themself, he talenter first eggs and then let them keep the next to succesfully rear them by themself. So no chicks are ever taken from the parents - and I promise you that no adult birds are hurd by loosing a pair of eggs. But thanks for the comment. What do you base your comment on? Kind regards Torben
Your friend clearly loves those cockatoos and you can see he tries to to provide lots of enrichment for them with native grasses etc. They look in excellent condition so he's obviously doing well breeding those difficult species. I wonder how aggressive Major Mitchell's or galahs are to their mates.
@@MrMittens1974 Thanks - and I fully agree! I have only seen good pairs, and my friend’s are good as well. But, I have heard of several males killing the females - and sometimes pairs are for sale noticing that the male wing feathers are cut - indicating this problem as well. So, it is a problem with some males - but not with others. My own male is truly fantastic, and as you can see in several of my videos my pair shares an aviary with several other birds.
@@TropicalAviaryBirds Yes I was looking at yours. Absolutely beautiful condition too. As you say I've heard some horror stories about beaks being ripped off of females and other awful injuries but not sure if that is a species like Greater sulphur crested or Moluccan. Your Mitchell's and galahs always look so placid and gentle.I would dearly love to keep some cockatoos but unfortunately I'm sure my neighbours would be the ones murdering me when they hear that noise 😄
@@MrMittens1974 😂 I had that fear as well. I have a normal villa garden - but the majors are quite calm. Only hear them few times a day - and it goes for one of the very “quiet” cockatoos. 😉
@@ericfabrizi5513 Depending on which birds 😉. But regarding the cockatoos, they stay out all year. They have shelter and some a “house” - but no heat - and they are doing just great. Also in frost. 👍
Nobody appriciates what effort and time spent by these guys takin and showing how these exotic birds breed and whats a birds nature ,what u guys do is speak AGAINST animal cruelty and what these peole do ,,for once if u can go buy a exotic brid that cost 2500$ single to 6000$ a pair and free the bird and let me know how the feeling is 😂,😅😂,,please let me know,these birds are not caught from the wild ,they are purchased and with my experince too if the babies are not removed after a ceftain time the male or female keeps killing the babies 1 by1 cause it gets hard to feed 3/4 babies ,as they want to be with their partner 😂,these birds are aggressive when its in breesing and parenting period
He ought to be ashamed of himself for breeding these beautiful creatures to be kept in homes. The only birds that should be in homes are rescues that are already born into this atrocious system.
Thanks for you view on this. I would say it depends on the bird keeper amd how the birds are kept. I have a pair of the fantastic birds in a large aviary and I would say that the are quite ok. 😉
@@TropicalAviaryBirds I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude so much as I'm just very passionate about these creatures. Whilst I agree these specific birds appear well cared for, in the wild parrots fly many kilometers daily, with some species of parrots flying hundreds in a single day. The mental stimulation this provides, along with their flocks which can number in the tens/hundreds/thousands and the near-constant stimuli of foraging, simply cannot be replicated by humans in a home or even large aviary environment, regardless of how how well-meaning the keepers are. Appreciate your reasonable response. These birds are everything to me so I hate to see new babies being sold into the system. The vast majority of parrots, ESPECIALLY COCKATOOS, are "rehomed" within their first few years. Many repeat this trauma, over and over. A lot are euthanised or collared for "aggression" or "hormonal imbalances", a normal response to placing such complex creatures within the confines of human lifestyle. Others end up egg bound, their egg slowly rotting them from the inside out. A vast number more barber or remove their own feathers in mental illness and frustration. These aren't cherrypicked outcomes; they happen all the time and it's about time we stopped selfishly stealing and using these hyper complex creatures for our own entertainment. They're far too precious for that, I'm sure you agree. ;) Take care of yourself, sir.
@@charliethecockatoo2159 Thank you very much. I actually do agree, that this is not a bird for beginners, and way too many people who end up with such birds should never have had them. It goes for birds - but also a lot of other animals. People should not treat live animals as things. Take care 😉

Does he breed "Kuhli Galahs", or just "Eastern Galahs"?
Hi! I asked him and he replied, that he is not sure many “clean” exist in Europe but the ones he has are all very dark in their colour.
Hello, are these birds yours? Is that for sale?
Hi - from a friend of mine, but he is not selling😉
Is it hard to pet a cockatoo??
Not if you have it from very young - but they take up loong time. Easier to have a pair - both hand raised, then they will remain quite tame but not in need of human company all time.
Where can one buy breading pairs,
Dont know any😉

For big birds like cockatoos - no doubt that they need an aviary! 😉
Where are you from? in Europe?
Denmark 😉
@@TropicalAviaryBirds Amazing. what do you guys do with the birds in the aviary in the winter?
