Up at silly o’clock this morning, just as the sun was rising and what a sight to behold.
In numbers (4-5 dozen), these are some type of #Corella feeding away in the freshly laid bark, in a nearby park.
I think these little fellas are called #LittleCorella going by a quick google search. They’re a sub-genus of the white cockatoo, I read with interest!
They seemed unfazed by my presence, although I did creep up on them, and they appear to be quite placid and behaving nicely probably because they’re filling their bellies on this fine, but cool Melbourne morning.
7 degrees (14F), but the sun’s out and it is forecast to be a cloudless, sunshiny day 🙌☀️
Havan awes day whatever you’re up to today!!
🙏🤍

The Corellas have arrived on their yearly rounds of the street trees. They seem very methodical in the way they move through the trees, one at a time, and on mass. And always keeping an watchful eye on the world below.

Little corellas are pink, who knew? Don’t often get these guys in Federal Reserve so it would have been criminal of me not to take a few snaps as they too battled the marauding fun police.

Sammy the 45 year old Corella checking out his new home. He was in his old cage over 20 years. I thought the move would be stressful for him, but he’s styling in well.

Little Corellas on campus this afternoon. They are an absolute hoot to watch if you have the time. They'll roll around on their backs playing with dried leaves, squabble amongst each other, flap or hop around. So much character.

Hello,
I am a Little Corella,
and utterly ridiculous.
