Birds Long-billed Corella

[Ralph]

I have no idea why they are designed this way but they have got it to work for them.
All shots taken at different times of the day.

Similar to Crossbills Ralph. They've adapted over time to get the seeds out of pine cones. I guess this is something similar.

From wiki:

"has a long, pale beak, which is used to dig for roots and seeds"

Hey @Ralph. I hope you're recovering ok. We get a few of these around here from time to time but mainly the little corellas.

It is funny how they can make changes to themselves over generations But these as I have seen are on the grass far more often over tree's.

What you have got there is what I have seen but this is only a short while as they are not here too often.

Getting much better went out to test myself more then keep when ever skills I have. And the report is I still need to watch it but I will be better soon.
We get the odd one of these here but like you it is the Little ones we have a lot of. But this makes it good for when you go away and get them again.
