Species notes
Overview
Body entirely white with pink patches around eye and chin. It uses its long upper mandible to dig for roots and seeds. Native to southeastern Australia but numerous feral populations exist elsewhere, typically in suburban areas.
Behavior
Typically occurs in grassy habitat, and is often seen feeding in parks or sporting grounds. Its call is more clipped and staccato than Little Corella.
