![]() ![]() And he often gets excited and it leads to head bobbing and making himself as tall as possible. who isn't.īandit picks up each foot with a purpose. He also throws his whole body forward and often results in tripping.īandit, however, has the cutest walk I've ever seen in my whole freaking life! Okay, maybe I'm biased. He gets so excited he lifts his wings as he goes fast. But Ace almost has to get a running start. Photo by Jamieleigh Location: Macon, GA Shown: Galahs "Bandit" and "Ace"Īce has his walk, Bandit has his. And of course, I included this shot because the toe ultimately proves it all. Notice how much more red his eyes are? Notice the head feathers are just naturally more voluptuous? They aren't slicked back on his head, they're up a little and they're almost always up just a little. Photo by Dave Location: Fayetteville, NC Pictured: Galah (you should be getting better at guessing now.) an eye squint, it's unlike Bandit's but something you may not notice unless you see it over and over again in person. He always has his own expression in his eyes. The slicked head feathers yet poofed beak feathers give away Ace's normal demeanor. That's my usual give away to tell that this bird is Ace. And his bumps are less bright red, and less all around. But if you look close, directly under his eye he doesn't have bumps. In this photo the dead give away is the toe. But that could be the amount of sunlight they've gotten that week (since we're always traveling). Sometimes (and maybe it's just me) even the color pink looks different. Photo by Dave Womach Location: Fayetteville, NC Checkin' things out: Male galah (guess who!) He holds his head and neck longer, or at least it appears that way because of the "hunch" he has most of the time. the red isn't as bright, but the white is brighter) I notice more white on him too, on his head feathers being lighter, his eyes being lighter (just around them. Almost like he doesn't know what to do with his tail, and almost like he has bad posture. He is an odd flyer he flies differently than the other two galahs. Slicked back head feathers, and kind of a hunch. Photo by Dave Location: Fayetteville, NC Shown: Galahs (still gotta guess) His head feathers are more likely to be puffed out and about, easily going into a crest. He sits more fluffed, more content looking on an average day. Bandit is showing his puffyness, looking a bit poofy. It's Bondi, my female, on top (white around the eyes, brown eye color) and Bandit on the bottom. If you think he's the bottom, keep looking close. If you think Ace is the top galah, keep studying. Photo by Dave Location: Fayetteville, NC Shown: Galahs (but still not telling who) Let's see if you can guess this next one right based on the information I gave you about both galahs. and he recently lost his nail so if you are really paying attention, you'll notice the little stub. he's naturally curious and likes to get real close. He will lean into you if you're close, he likes to lean. He has a sideways glance that is picture perfect and poses this pose for the camera every time! This is Bandit. His eyes are sweet, softer, and look at you with intent. which means this galah's eyes just always tend to look redder. His brother wasn't so lucky and didn't get sunlight as often as he needed it until later. He grew up with natural sunlight, aviaries, the like. This galah has always had the red around his eyes. Photo by Dave Womach Location: Florence, SC Which galah: Read on to find out (don't want to make cheating easy!) You'll get better by the end of the post. Study the picture as long as you need to make your evaluation. Can you tell which of my galah's this is? Bandit or Ace? Look close, and read the titles after you've made your guess. ![]()
