Hybridisation - Long-billed Corella / Little Corella???

["Greg & Val Clancy" <>]

We get Long-billed Corellas and Little Corellas in the Grafton-Coutts 
Crossing area but have not noted any birds that appear to be hybrids between 
the two.  We do, however, regularly get hybrid Little Corella/Galahs.  I 
have also seen a photo of what appeared to be a Long-billed Corella/Galah 
hybrid.
At Urunga a few years back I observed a mixed flock of LBC and LCs with one 
different Corella.  It had an intermediate length bill, red lores and lack 
of red on the chest.  I considered that it was an escaped Western Corella 
Cacatua pastinator as it fitted that species' description perfectly.  Does 
anyone on the list know if the Western Corella is kept in captivity in NSW?
Brian and Meg - Could your bird have been a Western Corella?
