Yipeee! It's Going To Rain...Galah

Image details [leave comment]

Description: The Galah is one of the most widespread of Australia’s parrots, being found in all states. It is only absent from the most arid country and from the tip of Cape York. It prefers open grasslands and woodland, is a common species in the cities and towns, and has adapted well to farmed land. The species is gregarious, often forming flocks of several hundreds, although when foraging for food these large flocks will often split into small groups, coming together again at the evening roost site. Feeding is often done on the ground and their food in the wild is dominantly seed, nuts and fruit, and they can cause major damage to cultivated grain crops. For this reason the bird is regarded as a pest species in many parts of its range, and licensed culling is permitted in certain states. The Galah can make an excellent pet, with even wild caught young birds capable of becoming affectionate and friendly birds. They will however often become a little unpredictable when mature, and should never be allowed to spend time on a shoulder. They are extremely playful and intelligent birds, which, like most cockatoos, need constant stimulation with toys to play with, and objects to chew, to keep them from getting bored. They are not generally noisy, apart from early morning and evening, although some are the exception to the rule. Both sexes can become good talkers, possibly with the males being somewhat better, however their talking ability is not usually on a par with either Sulphur-crested Cockatoos or the Corellas. Rose-breasted Cockatoo (USA usage), Rose Cockatoo.

Prints

Bluecanvas offers Giclee prints on Epson Premium Photo Luster, Epson UltraSmooth Fine Art, or Chromata White Canvas papers. Our paper was chosen based on the highest quality, most vivid color reproduction, and archival attributes. You may choose to order prints, with or without mounting material. We use a sturdy, lightweight 3/16" Gatorfoam material for mounting fine art prints.

Epson Premium Photo Luster is a traditional choice of photographers and artists. Like all of Epson's innovative media, this paper is engineered to give you the highest resolution and color saturation possible.

Epson UltraSmooth Fine Art is for artists and professional photographers who require true archival print media. This is an acid free, 100% cotton hot press paper that is coated on both sides for extra versatility. This fine art paper is not only acid, lignin, and chlorine free, it is also pH buffered with calcium carbonate for a true archival sheet.

Chromota White Canvas is a textured 19 mil Bright White, consistent Poly Cotton Blend Matte Canvas using an acid-free, neutral pH coating. Unlike 99.9% of available inkjet canvas products on the market today, this canvas utilizes our "Chromata White" optical brightener additive-free (i.e No OBA's are used in this product) and Fluorescent Whitening agent-free breakthrough technology.

"Chromata White" gives the end-user the most stable platform on which to print photographs and fine art giclees without the metamerism issues or color shift issues inherent on other canvases. Optical Brighteners compromise the attainment of true color, they complicate profiling accuracy, and they inevitably deteriorate and yellow over time.

Gatorfoam is an extruded polystyrene board that is bonded between two layers of Luxcell wood-fiber veneer. This makes Gatorfoam heavy duty while allowing it to be used for a huge number of applications. Gatorfoam foam board is a premier choice for mounting exhibits, graphics, signs and displays. It is light weight, strong, rigid and warp resistant.
