A pair of Little Corellas at the entrance to their hollow which was only about 2.5 metres above the ground at Mungerannie roadhouse.
We know the hollow was quite deep and had at least one bend as we were able to poke a camera down into it and we couldn't see the bottom of it.
As I have said previously, the Corella is probably the most numerous specie of larger bird in the outback.
@gigiflower Just had a look at another site. See following Ha Ha Ha
Little Corella
Cacatua sanguinea
Cacatuidae
Little Corellas often indulge in an activity that is uncommon in the bird world — they like to play. Sometimes they slide down the steep roofs of wheat silos, falling off the edge and then flying back to the top to slide down again. They have also been seen perched on the blades of windmills, spinning round and around, falling off and then regaining a precarious grip on the blades. Even when perched, Little Corellas often hang upside down, or dangle below the perch, holding on with its bill.
Great shot of a lovely little bird. love the bark on the tree and the patterns around their home. Your story about them sliding on the roof and riding round on the windmill made me laugh.
I've had the privilege of meeting one of these 'Toos in person. They are undeniably the Clowns of the parrot world!! Fantastic picture you got of these two.
Fabulous and what a gorgeous home they have. We have got thousands of little corellas here. We never say any here until a few years ago. There was a huge bush fire at Myall Lakes across the bay and they moved here during the fire and never returned.
