Bird on a Wire

Eh.. did you say somethin'?

This is a Little Corella.

The scientific name for the genus that includes corellas, Cacatua, comes from the Malay word for a cockatoo: 'kakatuwah'. It means 'a vice', referring to their powerful bills. The scientific name for Little Corella, Cacatua sanguinea, means 'Blood-stained Cockatoo' and refers to the dark pink markings between the eye and the bill.

Thank You everyone for your wonderful comments. I appreciate it and enjoy reading them! Still busy with hospital but am trying to keep up with visiting all your spaces to see your photos. :)
