Meet the amazing Bailey Bird!

Postby Baibir » Tue Dec 07, 2010 9:32 am

Hello all!

I'm new to the forum, and I just wanted to
introduce myself and my gorgeous boy Bailey.

Well, hiya! My name is Amber, I'm an aussie female, 14 turning 15 on december the 14th ;)
I've always loved birds, I've had 2 budgies and a cockatiel. So for my 15th
birthday, I went out and bought my own birthday present.

Introducing..
Bailey!

Bailey is a 12 week old Rose-Breasted Cockatoo :galah: (Aka Galah!),
He's super friendly since he's been hand-raised. He absoloutly adore kisses
and sometimes even gives tonguies.. :shock:

I got to choose him from a cage with 3 other Galahs, and he was the one who
crawled up the side of the cage and stuck his beak out at me, begging for a kiss and a scratch!
It was love at first sight most deffinately.


At first, we were looking at a gorgeous Indian Ringneck male :irn: but it turns out, it wasn't hand reared as the advert said, infact, he ran away sqawking when I tried to scritch him! Oh dear.
So we spent some time looking around for the perfect bird. I had countless weeks of researching all the different breeds of birds, and came to the conclusion that a Galah is what I deffinately wanted!

So we searched for one high and low, until we found the gorgeous Bailey.


I do beleive it's time for photos!

Before I had birds, I had a monroe piercing and a nose hoop in. But, I soon took them out because I found the birds were always trying to get at them.

I've heard stories of birds pulling out piercings (most cases being being larger parrots), but I know when my cockatiel pulled at my nose ring, it did hurt!

So you might want to consider taking out the piercing when handling Bailey.

Bailey is adorable.

If money and time were not a factor, I'd be tempted to get a galah.... ;)
