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.Photo credit: Noodle snacks
