Facts
Origin
It had and has several names. In the past it was known as "Birdirra" by the local population, they raised them and by tradition cooked and ate them.
Feathers were used in ceremonies with dances. Today it is known under the names: Parrot Corella, little corella, short-beaked Corella, Bare-eyed Cockatoo, Blood-stained Cockatoo, Little Corella, Short-billed Corella, Little Cockatoo or Blue-eyed Cockatoo.
The species was first described by ornithologist John Gould in 1843. It is often confused with the Goffin parrot which is smaller in size.
They are quite common and can be seen in large flocks in northern and Central Australia, where they live in forested riparian lands near birds and farmland. They often invade cultivated areas and cause damage to crops.
During the breeding season they can gather in huge flocks of more than 20,000 and roam large areas in search of food, often being killed as crop pests.
Feeding naked-eyed Corella Parrot
In the wild, they feed in trees and on the ground, mostly with seeds, grains, fruits, berries, buds, flowers, nuts and insect larvae. Their most active period is early morning and late afternoon.
In general, cockatoo parrots should be fed with granulated or extruded food, supplemented daily with fresh fruits and vegetables, for variety. Daily should receive about 1/3 cup of food prepared according to the recipe or 1/3 cup of fresh fruits and vegetables. Watch how much they eat, because over-feeding leads to food claims and fads and food waste by eating it. Naked-eyed cockatoos are somewhat prone to obesity.
Naked-eyed cockatoos adults and young use calories effectively and are picky about food. Try to make sure the food they eat is nutritious and avoid feeding on large amounts of high-fat seeds, such as sunflower or rapeseed. No vitamin supplements are required for birds that receive proper nutrition.
Features naked-eyed Corella Parrot
Hollow-eyed cockatoo parrots are medium-sized white birds with a short, lying White Crest, blue circles around the eyes, and a small pink spot between the eyes and nostrils. The underside of the wings is yellow.
Young birds mostly resemble adults, but have shorter beaks and more blotchy blue periocular rings. Naked-eyed cockatoo parrots are about 35-45 cm long and a wingspan of around 28-33 cm. Their body weight revolves around 380-600 g.
Although largely underestimated and often ignored because of their rather unusual appearance, galoshes are intelligent birds with an exceptional personality. They are gentle, playful and affectionate, and can be very good house birds.
They rarely speak well, but are not as loud, picky or possessive as the rarer cockatoo parrots. These birds are very curious and like to peck at objects, but they are not as destructive as other cockatoos. They must be provided with toys, pieces of wood or branches at all times.
Bathing or showering are vital for maintaining good plumage and good skin condition. Birds can be sprinkled and then left to dry in a warm room, in the sun, or carefully dried with a hair dryer. Be careful when you let them go because they fly better than umbrella cockatoos or Moluccans.
Cockatoos are very active and must be provided with the largest cage that space and budget allow. Ideally, they can fly in the cage. Many are skilled at opening cage doors, so locks or latches may be needed for sure. The cage must provide at least so much space that the bird can close its wings. If possible, it would be good for the bird to have a cage outside, allowing it to play in the sun and fresh air.

Breeding bald-eyed Corella Parrot
Naked-eyed cockatoo breeds very rarely in captivity. Mating age usually begins at 4-6 years, but can also begin at 3 years. In the case of this species of parrot as in the case of other species of cockatoo, exact sexing can be done based on DNA examination or examination following surgery.
Mating in captivity can be very difficult. In North America, the hollow-eyed cockatoo breeds mainly in winter and spring. The female hatches 2 or 3 eggs at a time. The right size for a mating Cage is 200 X 150 X 150 cm, suspended 1.2 meters above the floor or ground.
Boxes with two entrances are often used to prevent the male from locking the female in the box. Classic wooden boxes can be used, and hollow-eyed cockatoo Parrots usually prefer a deep and narrow nest. The approximate size would be 30 X 30 X 60
The incubation period is 24-26 days. Chicks begin to grow wings at about 10-12 weeks. Hollow-eyed cockatoos are relatively easy to feed by hand, and most of the recipes for this kind of feeding can be used successfully.
Male cockatoos often become aggressive towards their mate, so in the construction and arrangement of the cage you need to consider techniques to reduce aggression. Cutting the male's wings before the mating season will help the female escape in case of aggression.
The naked-eyed Cockatoo parrot is generally a healthy bird. Diseases most often encountered in this bird are: plucking feathers, disease of feathers and beak(most often in the wild), allergies, aggression of the pair, infections.
Life expectancy is considered up to 50 years.
