Description
I thought this Muir's Corella looked so cheeky as he peered through the branches of the tree.wanted to know if these were Bare Eyed or Goffin Cockatoos. As I didn't know the answer I search for pictures of both and found that it looked closer to the bare eyed than the other.
This shows the eye detail than the other pics in my gallery.

One of the things that thrilled me most when I came to Australia, was to see the variety of birds here. It took me a long time to realise though, that you have to plant Australian plants in your garden before these birds will visit. In my first garden, I planted mainly the plants I was used to seeing in England and I only got 3 species, 2 honeyeaters and pigeons. My garden here has about 38 different species of birds visiting and I feel like I've gone to bird heaven.

Beautiful shot. I hope your neighbour does understand how blessed she is being able to see and hear these rare and lovely birds instead of blabbering nonsense.

My neighbour will now be happy, as the Corella's have gone back to their winter feeding and breeding grounds, where the old trees are. But they will be back again next year. I miss them

These are known locally as the Muir's Corella.
It's taken me ages to see if I could find out if they were also the Western Corellas and this is what I found -
Competition for nest holes
Galahs and introduced Long-billed Corellas are extending their range in the West Australian wheatbelt. Earlier breeding and more aggressive natures allow them to oust Carnabyβs Black-Cockatoos (Short-billed Black-Cockatoo), Muirβs Corella (southern Western Corella) and other endangered local species from their traditional nest hollows. While habitat through clearing and resulting deterioration of remaining woodland fragments is the cause of the cockatoosβ declines, such competition may prove to be the straw that breaks the camelβs back.
So they are also known as the South Western Corellas.

My Mum is like you in a way, she keeps changing everything around in her room and then she can't find anything. Me, I've had everything in exactly the same place since I moved here 9 years ago.

:Laughing:. I suddenly thought of this in relation to your disguises yesterday. "They seek him here,/ They seek him there,/ Those Frenchies seek him everywhere./ Is he in heaven,/ Or is in hell?/ My own elusive Pimpernel."
I will think of you as the Scarlet Pimpernel in future.

These are beautiful birds...the bare patch around the eye is quite amazing....

I'm sad that they are now heading back to their winter feeding and breeding grounds. I have only seen the occasional Corella this week. I still have lots of pictures to put in my gallery though.

I'll look forward to seeing those pics...it's so funny to hear you say that winter is coming where I'm seeing things start to waken up around here!!

We had the first, much needed, rain of the season yesterday. I just hope it continues and fill up those very empty dams.

Thank you very much. We are so lucky with the number of different bird species we have in Australia.

Those are sooooo beautiful! They DO look like cocatoos! Have you ever pet one? They have the softest feathers I've ever felt. They're softer than a bunny even. In fact, they're so soft, it's like you're not feeling anything. (I know that sounds weird, but it's the only way I can describe it)

The only Corellas that I've seen in cages have been likely to bite your finger off if you put it close enough. I would too if someone put me in a cage.
But I know what you mean as I have stroked other bird species.

Will they be around for breeding and you can get photos of babies?
π: 0 β©: 1
No. They are already heading back to their winter breeding grounds in the forests where there are large, old trees with lots of nesting places. In the area I live, the old trees have been logged
