- Mana the manic female galah; yet to be named male corella
Inspired by others consolidated threads about their parrots, I decided to make one for Mana
This is Mana, our cheeky little galah.
Hatch date: 07-08-2012 (7th of August) DNA sexed female.
We purchased her from an unethical bird "flipper" with a sprained wing and in filthy condition. Luckily she has tested clear for all the major nasties and her wing is healing up nicely. Due to her time with the "flipper" she has some anxiety issues, which we are working on. The most significant improvement in her behaviour came when we moved her playgym from a stand to an altered shelf on my computer desk. She can hop down onto the floor as she pleases and this independence has helped with her anxiety enormously.
Due to a horrible clip and sprained wing she probably won't be learning to fly any time soon
Her favourite toy, which she drags absolutely everywhere is her green lady beetle... its the most delicate toy, I bought it as a fun idea for her to destroy in one afternoon but she took a liking to it and it remains intact! She has destroyed almost everything else lol
I have some video to upload of her talking as well
