Corella

["Margaret Leggoe" <>]

So who are these fellows?  I am sure about A & D but not about B & C.  C looks like a young bird because his beak is smooth (compare with D).

Joe Forshaw confirms that the bird nearer the camera, of a type occasionally seen in the Kingston-Griffith-Narrabundah area, is a hybrid (L Corella x L-b Corella presumably).  There is enough evidence of mixed pairs consorting around hollows in this area to allow the possibility that the bird is the result of local breeding.
