Wild Bird Wednesday 461 - Little Corella

The Little Corella (Cacatua sanguinea), also known as the bare-eyed cockatoo, blood-stained cockatoo, short-billed corella, little cockatoo, and blue-eyed cockatoo, is a white cockatoo native to Australia and southern New Guinea. 

It it also a sure sign that the cooler months have arrived in Melbourne when large flocks of these birds can be found in the area on which I live.  They are noisy, playful, messy and very welcome.

These birds are some of a flock of abut 100 the dropped in to feed on some garden plants just behind my house.  I have photographed (and posted) this species a number of time before, but I really like them!

    Oh yes I remember they are very noisy. I also like them a lot. The interactions between the individuals are very interesting.
