Little Corella


Little Corella, originally uploaded by jsarcadia.

The cockies were out the back of the shop this morning. However, when I looked at the pics properly I discovered that they're Little Corellas, not the usual Sulphur-Crested Cockatoos (the ones with the yellow head crest feathers) that hang around. The Corellas have that distinctive blue ring around the eyes, are smaller and have only white head crest feathers.

That's in Melbourne? If so, where abouts? We've been getting massive flocks of these birds in the Glen Iris area, only in the last week.

Interesting that your post is at the same time of year, only one year earlier. Perhaps they've discovered that Melbourne is a good autumn food supply. However, we didn't have them in this area last year.

Boronia. They're back again this year.
