Birds in cages attract snakes. Most people see their first common tree snake at the bottom of their now ex-budgie cage and a medium sized carpet python could easily tackle a galah. Have a look at this photo here
http://150.101.58.70/showimage.php?i..._Python_05.jpg . The photo was taken at Green Mountains, the snake was only about 1.2 meters and its meal was about the size of a very large cat. Hopefully it was a very large cat. (NOTE : The web site is still unfinished and the server is a bit slow so please don't complain too much.)
And if you do keep a galah (and they are great pets) don't keep it in a cocky cage, I think they should be banned and you may give the bird psycological problems (eg. feather plucking). I kept one for years in a large
pine packing case with 1/2 inch wire. We were careful to ensure that the bird
always had green gum branches (prefably with leaves and gum nuts) to chew on and he never vandalized the packing case. Oh, and keep the bird away from Gin and Tonic, they forget how to fly, get nasty and attack the dogs.
I'll get off my soap box now.
