![]() You are probably “reeling from information overload” by now, too find out more please come to the inaugural Hunter Valley Avicultural Societies Convention being held on the 13th & 14th of October 2007, as I have been invited to do a presentation on White Cockatoo Subspecies there! ![]() This subspecies has become very popular with some aviculturalists in recent years, and is being bred accordingly. In keeping with the “petitness” of this subspecies they have a smaller crest, and the pinkness from the back of the head flows down narrows then “flares” out onto the shoulders of these birds! Weights Cocks two birds 338 & 362 Grms Respectively and Hens again two adult birds395 & 282 Grams Respectively, second bird was younger. In these birds again the periophthalmic eye ring is a stand out feature, it is ovate and a very pronounced red, below that eye ring this Galah features a prominent white “massacre” area, obviously a feature that has adapted for reflecting Tropical Glare (again see photo). It is markedly the smallest subspecies and hails from the “tropical” top end of the country, being smaller they appear to be a petite little bird, and in fact they are. It is the most recognised forms of the Galah. Kuhli Galahs generally have a paler plumage crown more strongly suffused with pink grey-red periophthalmic eye-ring. These galahs are found in the Kimberly region of (northern) Western Australia.
