The Long-billed Corella has a small distribution, usually inhabiting woodlands, river banks and farming land. More

Long-billed Corellas are generally found near streams in grassy areas or open woody areas. They are highly social, gregarious birds and gather at feeding sites in flocks of hundreds of birds. Often, Long-billed Corellas will associate with the Sulphur-crested Cockatoo. While feeding, one bird will remain in a tree and keep watch while the others feed. They only feed during the cooler hours of the day, preferring to rest at midday in shade. This Corella, when disturbed, will shriek loudly while taking wing. More
