The adult Long-billed Corella measures from 38 to 41 cm in length, has a wingspan of about 8090 cm and averages 567 g in weight. It has a long bone-coloured beak, and a rim of featherless bluish skin around the eyes. The plumage is predominantly white with reddish feathers around the eyes and lores. The underside of the wings and tail feathers are tinged with yellow. Source: Wikipedia. Photos were taken in a local park, close to where I live.

Thank you for looking, Carolina. Thank you for the thumb-up. Yes, they do look like love birds. It is their breeding season now, and this is a display of their well established pair-bonding. Corella pairs may be permanent and use the same nests in successive years. Brian

Thank you Gregory! Glad that you liked them, as they are different to what you normally shoot. It's the first time that I've been able to photo them. :-D
