Very interesting, a hybrid I had not thought of but in hindsight very likely. We should encourage all observations. Sandra, could you put an item together for Gang-gang?

Subject: [canberrabirds] For interest - hybrid sulphur-crested cockatoo-little corella
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.
