The Little Corella is a small to medium-sized white cockatoo widely distributed across Australia and New Guinea, known for its social nature and highly destructive feeding habits in agricultural areas.
Where to spot
Open woodlands, grasslands, agricultural areas, urban parks, and even cities across most of Australia and parts of southern New Guinea.
How to spot
Look for its entirely white plumage, short crest, pinkish lores (around the eye), and a bluish eye-ring. Its calls are loud, harsh screeches and chattering. Very common in many areas.
When to spot
Active during the day, often seen in large, noisy flocks, especially near water sources or feeding grounds. Observable year-round.

These highly intelligent birds are notorious for their ability to learn and mimic sounds, and can be quite destructive to crops and infrastructure due to their strong beaks and foraging habits.
