Guinea is a white parrot called a Little Corella. He looks a bit like a Sulphur-crested Cockatoo, but smaller, with a little white crest, not a giant yellow one.

There are three types of corella found in Australia and Little Corellas are the smallest ones, being only 38cm when fully grown. Which is still giant compared to me!

You can find Little Corellas in many parts of Australia, often in large flocks, near rivers, creeks or dams, or wherever there is plenty of seedy grass.

Little Corellas are a lot like fairies. They love to talk and play and can be very noisy, especially when lots of them get together. They don’t sing sweetly like Maggie’s magpie friends, but call to each other in a high-pitched shriek.

Just like mine, Little Corella families live in a tree hollow. Inside their home is a nest of soft wood shavings, where the mother bird lays her eggs. The mum and dad work together, keeping the eggs warm and looking after their babies when they hatch – just like my parents look after my sister, Maggie, and me.
