Get an old one. Mine's 30 and he's gonna outlive me. Maybe you can adopt him in ten years or so after I kick.
- wycx 11y agoWhat's he like? Did you know his name when you got him? My sister has a pre=owned galah. Like all parrots he is endearing, but at the same time, crotchety and set-in-his-ways.
- xenubarb 11y agoHe was 3 when I bought him at the bird store I worked at. His name is Casanova, which is ironic because he doesn't like women except for me. He's a manly bird for manly men, but I have a motorcycle so I guess that makes me acceptable. He was a lot more aggressive a few years ago. Since I started working him with a glove (for the same reason falconers do, protection and better footing for the bird) and making him wear a harness to go outside, his attitude has improved considerably. Galahs are adorable, but pinchy and overpriced.
