I haven't heard of hybrids in aviculture between Eastern Long-bill and Little Corellas - so if they occur it is very rare. That is perhaps a bit surprising since both Eastern Long-bills and Little Corellas are known to have hybridised in captivity with Sulphur-crested, Galahs, and Major Mitchells.

In answer to another query - Western Long-bills are in aviculture on the East Coast - not in large numbers, but still quite a few around.

cheers,
