That 'rose-breasted cockatoo'', we call them 'Galah's', they are everywhere where I live, they pair for life too, you see big flocks with them split into pairs rummaging for food on the ground, they are a nice bird, the name doubles as Aussie slang for someone who is been a bit silly, 'He's a Galah, don't worry about him'. I never knew they had a different name, it is obvious they are a cockatoo though, smart birds.
Absolutely love the speedrun breakdown! I'd love to see any specimen or information you can share about parrots, I know quite a lot already but it would be neat to learn more!
I love this - and the skull identifications!! (I wish I'd studied to be a zoologist :() When I saw the location I guessed Chilean Flamingo (only as these are the most common zoo Flamingo species - at least in the UK)..
Okay so this video got me super excited cuz I collect feathers. I have a lot of different feathers from exotic and local birds, one of those being body feathers (I have wing and tail feathers too) from flamingo. My feathers are from the greater flamingo tho but they are all beautiful non the less. Just a note I’m no expert at all, I’m just a high school student who likes to over analyse my feathers.
I went with a galah (in general) before I was like “hold up, wait a minute, where’s the other small feather thingy that pokes out” and I immediately went to American flamingo and than to Chilean (I chose American cause this feather looked like those dark pink spots on the Chilean flamingo and I doubted if it was somehow one of those and than I changed my mind because it looked too similar)
