Media notes
Little Corellas on the ground, eating olives. Little Corellas (Cacatua sanguinea) are a very common cockatoo and are widely distributed throughout Australia. They form large, noisy flocks and are often found feeding in large groups on spilt grain, or in this case olives. Little Corellas are playful, often hanging upside down, swinging on twigs, hanging on with their bills, and sliding down metal roofs. Little Corellas were not found on the coastal plain near Perth until the 1970s. They are now a very common urban bird and are often considered to be a nuisance. This flock was making the most of this olive tree, harvesting fruit in the tree, and eating fallen fruit on the ground. Elevation: 7 m. Date added to IBC: February 28, 2018.
