Corella Long Billed, Western Health Information

Because Western Long-billed Corellas may be slightly aggressive toward other birds, they should be kept in pairs. They are extremely noisy and may be considered a nuisance to your neighbors! Western Long-billed Corellas must be wormed regularly.

Breeding
Western Long-billed Corellas in captivity need a variety of nesting boxes and even then do not often breed. Generally, a 90-centimeter log with a 35-centimeter internal diameter works well. Provide peat moss, dirt and wood shavings as nesting material. A typical clutch consists of one to three eggs, which incubate for 24 days. The young fledge at about seven to ten days. Breeding is easiest if your pair of Western Long-billed Corellas has been raised together, and are isolated by themselves in an aviary with an excellent nutritional diet. A second clutch will only be produced if the first is lost.
