Bare eyed? Corella?

 

[Polytelismedia]

Good try guys but not quite... You are so close though! What I use often is the scientific names of the Toos that helps especially if they are called different things in the wild and in aviculture. For example Bare-eyed Cockatoo's latin name is Cacatua Sanguinea . That way its easy to tell that this is the same bird thats called Bare-eyed in aviculture but in the wild its called Little Corella. Thats what its called in Australian Field Guides.

The birds I have posted are very closely related to the Bare-eyed Cockatoos/ Little Corellas but live in a different area in Australia. Okay put your thinking caps on... (that or use google)...

I know right away!! Isn't it the Western Corella or the Slender Billed?

 

[GlassOnion]

When I meant "or" I meant "also called".

 

[rikkitikki]

tanimbar corella?
nm, that's a goffins... then I'm going with the western corella as well, but I thought we already talked about western/eastern corellas.... this feels like a trick question.

 

[GlassOnion]

tanimbar corella?

That is a Goffin's.

 

[Polytelismedia]

Wow you guys are really really close. No not called Slender-billed but one of you mentioned it here... hint hint oh and here is the latin name so not to torture everyone too much...


Cacatua pastinator

Okay that should settle it for everyone for sure....

 

[GlassOnion]

So the Western Corella!

 

[Polytelismedia]

JACKPOT!!!

and the winner is..... GLASS ONION WITH THE PROPER IDENTIFICATION..... WESTERN CORELLA ! AKA Cacatua pastinator

 

[Chicobo]

Darn! Well, I gave it the good ole college try At least I was in the ballpark somewhere, even if it was sort of in the stands? LOL. They're very pretty!

 

[wolfysluv]
