Just so long as he/she does not injure you or hubby or the dogs. All sounds good.

No its all just mock attacks .
Wouldn't be able to have her full on biting with grand kids around .
She gets disciplined by other half and knows when she is naughty .

She is just a NUT .

hmm, but red around face (not present on little) suggests maybe a hybrid of the two? you''re right about the beak.

Bit late, I know, but I was just reading this, and, at my school I have both species, with the Long-billed being more common. Here's some profile pictures to show the difference between a Hybrid and a Pure Long-billed. Excuse the quality, they were taken with the cameras the school gives you (good for still life, not for birds)


That is a Hybrid, they have red on the neck, and a fair bit (more than the Little) on their Lores (between the eye and bill).


That's a pure bird

lol thats awesome deb what a cool bird. Great to see you saved its life and its happy

Bubba is a normal Bare Eyed Corella or Little Corella for around here .
Perhaps sub species occur in different parts of the country , I dont know .

Thanks for the heads up folks ,yes she really is a character and even though I threaten to take her back to Narromine and release her I never would .

[vettepilot_6]

that's a Long Billed Corella much less common than littles but still not rare.
not again, poor thing, let's hope this one goes better.

Really? need to tell the couple of thousand that frequent Tewantin Noosa areas as well as the short billed variety

She has been recertified and is now no longer a lunatic .... she is possessed . The dam bird has a demon in her .
