Long or Slender Billed Corella

(Cacatua Tenuirostris)

A very uncommon companion parrot in the united states, the Slender Billed Corella. Beautiful birds with a reputation for being extremely steady and great talkers it shouldnt be long before they catch on. Once near the verge of extinction in the wild, new legislature protecting them has helped to increase their numbers. They catch the eye with their long beaks and wonderful rose feathers, and keep the heart with their great personalities. Usually growing to 16 or so inches and weighing in at around 600 grams these are not tiny birds and that should be kept in mind by those interested in living with one.
