These two were having a right old argument. Since we last lived here the Corellas seem to have staked their territory far and wide and we have had very few sightings of Gallahs or Ring Necked Parrots who used to predominate.
Aren't they gorgeous and so cheeky. We never had little corellas here until a massive bushfire across the bay at Myall Lakes quite a few years ago. They crossed the bay to get away from the fires and never went home
I would have to go to a pet shop to see something like this, and then it would not be nearly as natural. Terrific to see them together in the wild like this.
Their numbers fluctuate down here. They've done considerable damage to the trees in some areas. We have a few that visit our feeder but we still get more galahs and ring necks than corellas.
Nature seems to cycle that way- in a few years the others will be back and these will have appeared to move on. I love how you've captured the one amid opinion squawking! Good shot!
