    The bird looks a lot like the Galah-Corella crosses that are become fairly common here. Interesting pairing for sure.

    I just wanted to add....the breeder has been offered $15000!!!! Not too bad a return for a cockatiel that would be worth about $20 aus and a Galah that would be worth about $40 aus!!!
