This to me is really insane because taxonomically these two birds are about as far apart as you can get in the Cacatuidae family. This is not just a cross species hybrid. It's cross genus and tribe as well.

I have trouble believing this is true. Have you seen the size of a Galah compared to a Cockatiel? Where did this info come from?
Edit- did my own search and it appears to be real. I would never have thought they could cross breed. Galahs are huge compared to Tiels.

Yeah, it was hard for me to believe but there are other pictures around the internet of the same phenomenon.

Wow, I wouldn't have thought that was possible! What a neat looking bird.
Does anybody have any reliable information on these birds? How big are they? What's their typical life span?

I really am not a fan of hyrbrid species though and can get quite judgemental about it..
