Picture of the day
The
Long-billed Corella
(
Cacatua tenuirostris
) is a
cockatoo
native to
Australia
. The species can be found in the wild around western
Victoria
and southern
New South Wales
.
Feral
populations have sprung up in
Sydney
,
Perth
and
Hobart
from the release of unwanted birds. This has serious implications in
Western Australia
where they may
hybridize
with the endangered southern race of the
Western Corella
.
