Rose Breasted Cockatoos (Galah Cockatoos)

These birds have rose-colored breast feathers and gray feathers on the wings and back. Their crest is white and pink and small compared to the crests of other Cockatoos. They are considered pests in their native Australia because large flocks often destroy fields of crops. Some people consider these birds to be more phobic-prone than other species of Cockatoos, with emotional traumas causing serious behavioral disturbances. They can become unpredictable when they reach sexual maturity and care must be taken to avoid attacks.
