I never thought this was possible,the mother is the cockatoo the father is the galah.The person who bred them said they are called cockalahs,real photo's "not photoshopped".

Very attractive bird

Very much so! Agree with you Kaz, its gorgeous.

Very attractive bird

 

I agree there!

 

It is possible, there is also such think as a galatiel, Galah X 'tiel.

Is that a sibling in the aviary run on the left?Also found a corella/galah hybrid on a quick google search:

Yes Dean siblings.

I have seen several galah X corellas in wild flocks near our home. The are amidst a flock of corellas.

Amazing looking birds. Has a budgie ever been bred with another species?

Tis rather attractive. Seems the salmon colour comes through with this hybrid as it does the corella/galah hybrid.

 

Not sure if the same rules apply by in mammals the name is derived from the combination of the parents name but the sire is first followed by the dam. i.e. a male zebra and a female horse is called a Zorse, the other way round is a Hebra. So with that in mind the hybrid bird would be a Galatoo. :sad:

Very pretty, I want one :sad:

 

what a beautiful bird! i love the colour!! its combined the best traits from each bird

i just hope this doesnt happen in the wild though, i like to think that things are natural in the wild

and species remain pure

 

but i would definatley have one as a pet! love the apricot salmon colour!!!

did you know this person personally PJI ??

A cousin of my husbands who was staying with us for a few days recently, lives in the country on farming land. He was telling us of hybrids he has seen amongst flocks and some that travel all alone. He saw amongst a flock and many many times on his farm, a pure yellow 28 parrot. This is what a 28 parrot looks like http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3085/256138..._ae03fb72ae.jpg and the hybrid he saw was all over yellow with pale lime green suffusion on wings and tail. After seeing it on a regular basis he was going to try and catch it. However some teenagers in a close by farmhouse who had been given airguns recently shot it and killed it for fun

He also saw on its own a pure red rosella parrot with no additional colouring at all................just red.

he has also seen pure yellow corellas.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

To be honest, I prefer the apricot orange comb, to the yellow cockatoo's comb
