Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Short billed corella (sometimes called little cockatoo) who often hangs with the big guys round our verandah in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula.
He is the only one of his kind in the flock.
Strangely, he seems to be a bully, and when he wants some particular food, the big cockatoos keep their distance.
They even get out of the way when he walks along our verandah railing.

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ At Cranbourne, just east of the Mornington Peninsula, flocks of the long-billed corellas like to graze in the large open grassy areas.
Here is a comparison between the two types of corellas.

I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)
