Cacatua tenuirostris

DISTRIBUTION: Southern Australia

HABITAT: Grassy woodland, grassland, urban parks

STATUS: Not Threatened

 


 

 

 

DESCRIPTION:
Corellas are members of the Cockatoo family and have the trademark crest, although it is not as pronounced as other cockatoos. The crest is still raised when the bird is excited or agitated however.

They feed of fruit, plant matter and in particular grass and crop seed, leading some to consider them rather a pest.
