my neighbour and fellow COG member John Bundock took a photo
in his backyard last week of what Joe Forshaw has confirmed is a
cockatoo-corella hybrid (see attached). the bird has a blue eye
ring, and short yellow crest. It was with the sulphur-crested
cockatoos in Wanniassa - but we haven't been able to sight it
since. Joe thinks such hybrids will be more common with the
increasing numbers of corellas locally.
