Rose-breasted cockatoos Or Galah are  Affectionate and friendly, the Galah Cockatoos have a reputation for being loving pets. They are sensitive birds, however, and require quite a bit of attention and interaction from their owners. Those interested in owning a Rose-Breasted Cockatoo should make sure that they have plenty of free time to spend with their new pet. They are active birds and need plenty of exercise to maintain their physical health. Fresh fruit is a good source of nutrition for them as well. Nuts such as walnuts, almonds, and pecans can be used as a training treat and are very healthy for them.
