Common Names: Rose-Breasted Cockatoo, Pink and Gray Cockatoo, Galah Cockatoo, Roseate Cockatoo, Galah Parrot.
Scientific Name: Cacatua roseicapilla.
Origin: Australia.
Size: Rose-Breasted Cockatoos are generally between 12-15 inches in length from the beak to the tip of the tail feathers.
Feeding: Like all Cockatoos, Rose-Breasted Cockatoos are prone to weight gain, so owners should monitor their fat intake. A healthy diet for a Rose-Breasted Cockatoo companion bird should consist of a wide variety of leafy greens such as swiss chard, kale, Chinese cabbage and healthy lettuces such as romaine lettuce. They require a broad spectrum of different vegetables such as root vegetables, peppers, zucchini, green beans and sprouts.
Fresh fruit is a good source of nutrition for them as well. Nuts such as walnuts, almonds and pecans can be used as a training treat and are very healthy for them. This diet should be supplemented by a high quality formulated spelled diet. Fresh water should be available at all times.
