It is a small parrot with a variety of color patterns and a head crest. They are attractive as well as friendly. They are capable of mimicking speech, although they can be difficult to understand. These birds are good at whistling and you can teach them to sing along to tunes. Life Expectancy: 15 to 20 years with proper care, and sometimes as Cockatiels as 30 years though this is rare. In their native Australia, cockatiels are Cockatiels quarrions or weiros. They primarily live in the Cockatiels, a region of the northern part of the Cockatiels. Discovered inthey are the smallest members of the cockatoo family. They exhibit many of the Cockatiels features and habits as the larger Cockatiels. In the wild, they live in large flocks. Cockatiels became Cockatiels as pets during the s. They are easy to breed in captivity and their docile, friendly personalities make them a natural fit for Cockatiels life.

    AustralianAustralian ThreatenedThreatened SpeciesSpecies Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo Calyptorhynchus latirostris Conservation Status Commonwealth: Endangered (Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999) WA: ‘Specially protected fauna’ (Western Australian Wildlife Conservation Act 1950) What do they look like? This large black cockatoo (also known as the Short-billed Black-Cockatoo) has white tail panels, white cheek patches and a short bill. It lives only in southwest Australia where large-scale clearing for farming has fragmented much of its habitat, particularly mature eucalypts such as salmon gum and wandoo that have suitable hollows for nesting. Where do they live? Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo is endemic to southwest Western Australia, extending from the Murchison River to Esperance, and inland to Coroow, Kellerberrin and Lake Cronion. Most breeding occurs in areas with an average annual rainfall of 300-750mm, typically in the Wheatbelt and Great Southern regions. For nesting, Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoos require HowHow many areare there?there? eucalypt woodland, comprising principally of salmon gum or It is difficult to know how many Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoos wandoo.

E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] All authors contributed equally to this work ABSTRACT The Tanimbar Islands located in the Wallacea region have particularly important ornithological values due to high level of endemism. Avian researchers have carried out expeditions to Tanimbar since long time ago starting with Forbes in 1882. An iconic bird of the Tanimbar Islands is the endemic Tanimbar corella (Cacatua goffiniana). This species is considered near threatened by the IUCN, listed in CITES Appendix I, and is protected under Indonesian law. The objectives of the study were to assess bird diversity, habitat use, and association between C. goffiniana and other bird species on the Tanimbar Islands. Data were collected between 2015 and 2019 on Yamdena, Larat, Selaru, and Vaimar Island of Kepulauan Tanimbar Regency, Maluku Province.

Two species of corella, the Little Corella Cacatua sanguinea and Long-billed Corella C. tenuirostris, have been introduced into south-western Western Australia. To determine how they used the landscape, we undertook a wing-tagging study in 2012–2013 to monitor movements of individual birds. Sixty-two birds (44 Little Corellas and 18 Long-billed Corellas) were tagged and released from five sites and a total of 390 sightings was recorded over a 7-year period. There was a significant difference in the mean distances from tagging sites that corella species were sighted, with Little Corellas travelling further than Long-billed Corellas. The greatest distance from its tagging site recorded for a Little Corella was 145 km and for a Long-billed Corella was 77 km.

  • Little Corella Management Community Information
    Little Corella Management Community Information Background on Little Corellas Little Corellas (Cacatua sanguinea) are an Australian native bird naturally found in parts of Australia. They are an intelligent small white cockatoo bird that naturally forms large, noisy flocks during the warmer months. Research within South Australia indicates that until the 1920s, Little Corellas have been largely restricted to the far north-east of South Australia. Since this time, the birds have extended their range slowly southwards and since the 1960s Little Corellas have been recorded continuously and increasingly in the Flinders Ranges, Mount Lofty Ranges and surrounding areas. Since then numbers have steadily increased and there are now many thousands. It is suggested that this movement may have been facilitated by human involvement, with changes to the environment through clearance of native vegetation having provided increases in large open space areas, as well as provision of new permanent water sources (e.g. dams, stock troughs, stormwater retention basins etc.), food sources and other factors such as drought and farming practices. Little Corella are known as “urban-adapters” meaning the species can live in natural and modified areas by continually adapting to their surroundings. Within the Alexandrina Council region, the impacts of Little Corellas have been felt by Council and its community across the district for well over a decade. Large flocks of Little Corellas are seen within many townships across the Alexandrina Council region during the warmer months (October-May). Pair of Little Corellas (Cacatua sanguinea) What problems are caused by Little Corellas? While some people do enjoy seeing Little Corellas in the environment, large flocks in urban and rural areas can cause considerable problems.

  • Cockatoo Care Introduction and Species Cockatoos Are a Very
    [email protected] http://www.aeacarizona.com Address: 7 E. Palo Verde St., Phone: (480) 706-8478 Suite #1 Fax: (480) 393-3915 Gilbert, AZ 85296 Emergencies: Page (602) 351-1850 Cockatoo Care Introduction and Species Cockatoos are a very diverse group of birds, comprising five genuses. Members include (with currently recognized subspecies): Ducorp’s, Galah, Gang-gang, Goffin’s, Major Mitchell’s, Palm, Philippine Red-vented, Red-tailed, Salmon-crested Moluccan, Long-billed Corella, Glossy, Blue-eyed, Black (Funereal and White-tailed), White Umbrella, Little Corella (Bare-eyed and Sanguinea Sanguinea), Lesser Sulfur-crested (Sulphurea Sulphurea and Citron-crested), and Greater Sulfur-crested (Galerita Galerita–GG, Fitzroyi–F, Triton–T, and Eleonora–E). To further confuse the issue, many of these species and sub-species have more than one common name (i.e. Major Mitchell’s = Leadbeater), or will be recognized by only part of it (White Umbrella = White or Umbrella). They can be white with various touches of yellow, pink, or orange in the crest; or black with touches of pink, red, yellow, or white in body, head, or tail feathers. Sizes range from 12 to 28 inches from head to tip of tail. Some are very endangered, while others are considered pests in their native lands. Fortunately (or unfortunately), many of these species are not commonly encountered here in the United States as pets, so further discussion will only involve the six more common species: Moluccan, Umbrella, Bare-eyed, Goffin’s, Lesser-crested, and Greater-crested Cockatoos. • The Moluccan is a large white bird (20 inches) with a pinkish feather tinge, particularly in its large crest, and a black beak.
