Care Notes

Common Feeding Mistakes
The biggest galah mistake is a fatty, seed-heavy diet. Galahs are one of the parrots most prone to obesity and fatty tumours, called lipomas, and sunflower seed is the main culprit. Keep sunflower and other oil seeds to a few pieces as a training reward, not a daily food. Build the diet on formulated pellets and fresh vegetables, offer only small amounts of quality seed, and weigh your bird regularly so you catch weight gain early.
Habitat Requirements
Galahs are active and playful, so give them the largest cage you can, with room to climb, flap and forage. Add perches of different thickness, sturdy chew toys, and foraging enrichment to keep their busy minds occupied. They need several hours out of the cage each day and regular social contact. Keep the cage out of draughts and harsh afternoon sun, and offer safe native browse like eucalyptus or bottlebrush to chew.
Handling & Socialisation
Galahs bond closely with their people and thrive on gentle, consistent daily interaction. Start handling early, keep sessions short and positive, and set clear, kind boundaries to prevent nipping and hormonal behaviour. A bored or lonely galah can scream or pluck, so out-of-cage time, training and enrichment are essential, not optional. They are clever mimics and enjoy learning simple tricks and words.

THE GALAHS MESS PROBLEM

Cage-mounted feeders are the most effective way to feed a messy cockatoo like a galah. Fixing the feeder securely to the cage keeps food contained and stable, instead of scattered across the cage floor and the room around it.

SIZE GUIDE

WHICH SEED CUBE SUITS GALAHS?

Galahs are large, powerful cockatoos and need the biggest feeder in the range. The Large Seed Cube is built to handle their size, strength and feeding force.

Large Seed Cube dimensions: 26 × 21 × 21 cm
Weight: approximately 1.8 kg

MOUNTING

STAYS STABLE DURING FEEDING

Galahs climb, lean and brace their weight while they eat. A feeder that shifts or flexes turns feeding into chaos, so the Seed Cube mounts firmly to the cage bars and stays put.

No swinging or tipping during feeding

Designed for cage mounting, not loose bowls

WHY SEED CUBE WORKS FOR GALAHS

Galahs are strong, deliberate eaters with powerful beaks, and they gain weight easily. Seed Cube handles the force and the daily use, and its foraging style helps slow scatter-feeding and support portion control.

GALAH FEEDING AND SEED CUBE FAQs

Common questions about feeding Galahs and keeping the cage clean with Seed Cube.

Yes. Galahs are large cockatoos, so they suit the Large Seed Cube. It mounts firmly to the cage bars and holds steady while a galah climbs, leans and feeds.
The Large Seed Cube. Galahs weigh 270 to 350 g and are strong, deliberate eaters, so they need the biggest feeder in the range.
No. The Seed Cube is made from tough, chew-resistant acrylic built to handle a cockatoo's powerful beak and repeated daily use.
Yes. Galahs are famously messy eaters that flick and scatter seed. The Seed Cube contains food inside the feeder, so far less ends up on the cage floor and the room around it.
It fixes securely to the cage bars so it stays put while your galah braces and feeds. No wobble means less spilled food and a calmer feeding routine.
Yes. It pulls apart for quick rinsing and refilling, so daily upkeep is fast even with a big, active bird.
Introduce the Seed Cube alongside the old bowl at first, put a familiar food inside, and let your galah explore at its own pace. Most birds take to it within a few days once they learn food is inside.
Formulated pellets, a quality galah seed blend, and dry foraging mixes all work well. Keep sunflower seed to a minimum because galahs gain weight easily.
It can. Because it slows scatter-feeding and encourages foraging, it supports controlled portions, which matters for a breed as prone to obesity as the galah.

Meet the founders

An Aussie family brand, built for cleaner bird feeding.

Hi, we are Russell and Peita.

Seed Cube started at home with one very determined Alexandrine. After years of cracked plastic, slipped mounts, and constant clean ups, we realised most feeders were not built to handle real birds or daily use.

We set out to build something we would actually trust.
That same focus on strength, stability, and cleaner feeding now guides how we design feeders for daily cage use.

There are now over 10,000 Seed Cubes in use worldwide. We do not build feeders to be cheap. We build them so feeding feels easier and spaces feel calmer.
