Whilst watching a group of Little Corellas in the trees last night, I was interested to see a Little Corella with her twins. Sitting with them was a Galah, and I took this photo.
I am not sure whether the Galah was feeding one of the Little Corellas or whether the Mother Little Corella was feeding the Galah?
Is it usual for parrots to feed other parrots?
I think that might be a Long-Billed Corella, little corellas don't have the pink on chest I thought. Very interesting, I have never seen anything like it! I would say the corella is eating, it's more extended as if reaching for food, in my experience with just watching an adult and juvenile magpie it is generally the juvenile magpie that 'reaches or stretches out' for the food, not the adult leaning out to feed the baby. Just my thoughts from observation I've made, I could be totally wrong here. I hop it makes sense to you, my brain is a bit muddled at this time.
Thanks Amateur - I think you are 100% right - it is a Long-Billed Corella.
I watched them again last night and there are quite a few of the LB Corellas in the trees with young and just this one Galah!
He/She was exhibiting all the signs of being fed this time and is quite at home with one particular bird and her twins. The LB Corella adult was even grooming the galah.
Quite interesting I thought!
