Field Notes

Description:

Little Corellas are mostly white, with a fleshy blue eye-ring and a pale rose-pink patch between the eye and bill. In flight, a bright sulphur-yellow wash can be seen on the underwing and under tail. The sexes are similar in plumage, and young birds look like the adults, but are slightly smaller.

Habitat:

Little Corellas often form large flocks, especially along watercourses and where seeding grasses are found.
