Thats a pretty bird but have heard and read hybrids dont live long?

Yea, hyrbids in general suffer from conflicting traits. And such combination of traits can vary from situation to situation.

Oh wow, how cute!

Yes ,the Galatiel was fathered by a gala and monthered by a pied cockatiel(rose breasted cockatoo)

I have seen videos of it and a few pictures of it.

Also due to being a hybrid ,it will most likey dislay "hybrid Vigor" where it will live long and grow stronger then both its parents.

Also its about 25% larger then a cockatiel

i read it in a parrot book but i think it may have been an old one as i trawl second hand shops for books. just a hobby, i give them to our local one when im done.

The Galah is also known as the Rose Breasted, correct?

yes, we in the states call it a rose breast, native to Australia they are called galah.

all I can think of is frankenstein but with a bunch of random bird parts stuck together. its just so... weird. kinda pretty though, once you get over the strangeness. my first thought was "photoshop!" cuz I didn't think such a bird could exist
