Rose Breasted Cockatoo Eggs
$75.00
Rose-breasted Cockatoos, also known as Galahs, are popular birds due to their striking appearance and social nature. Here are some key points regarding their eggs and breeding:
Egg Characteristics:
– Size and Shape: The eggs of a Rose-breasted Cockatoo are typically white and oval in shape, measuring about 3.2 to 3.5 cm (1.3 to 1.4 inches) in length.
– Clutch Size: A typical clutch consists of 2 to 5 eggs.
– Incubation Period: The incubation period lasts about 25 to 30 days, during which both parents take turns incubating the eggs.
Breeding Conditions:
– Nesting: In the wild, Galahs nest in tree hollows. For breeding in captivity, provide a suitable nest box with dimensions around 30 x 30 x 60 cm (12 x 12 x 24 inches).
– Temperature and Humidity: Maintain a stable and warm environment, with temperatures around 18-24°C (64-75°F) and moderate humidity.
– Diet: Ensure a nutritious diet for breeding pairs, including a variety of seeds, fresh fruits, vegetables, and calcium supplements to support egg production.
Raising Chicks:
– Hatching: Chicks hatch after the incubation period, usually covered in down feathers.
– Feeding: Parents feed the chicks regurgitated food. In captivity, hand-feeding formulas are available if necessary.
– Fledging: Chicks fledge, or leave the nest, approximately 7 to 8 weeks after hatching but continue to be fed by the parents for several weeks post-fledging.
Breeding Rose-breasted Cockatoos can be a rewarding experience, but it requires commitment to providing the appropriate care and environment for the birds and their offspring.

Rose Breasted Cockatoo Eggs .
With our recent move to acreage we have been able to implement a long-standing desire of mine to successfully set up large aviaries and keep a number of pairs of large Macaws. Previous attempts at keeping birds has failed due to high levels of noise and re-location. We have set up large aviaries which have both indoor & outdoor access which allows us to manage weather extremes and the high noise levels that comes with keeping large parrots. The custom modified shed that we have designed provides the backdrop for four large aviaries housing all pairs of Macaws. Eight pairs of Blue & Gold Macaws including the jaw dropping ‘Opaline’ mutation with the interesting sex-linked mode of inheritance when considering replication & the straight forward recessive ‘Lutino’ mutation. Over the coming years we hope to replicate and further the viability of these colours which are still in their infancy in the bird hobby. Finally, we have a pair of the large & impressive Green Wing Macaws which have amazing personalities
