Aussie Corellas feeding on tree nuts

[Ozzie_Traveller]

G'day all

The other day on my morning walk I came across a tree with 40 to 50 Corellas actively harvesting the tree nuts. As they jumped from branch to branch, they stopped a while to grab the seeds and chew thru the casing to get to the soft inner bits, before dropping the remains to the ground, leaving a huge mess behind for foot traffic to negotiate.

One of the nice things about an excellent image like yours Phil, is that I can't here them! They do look and sound great when there is a whole flock of them, similar to the Sulphies.
