It is possible that they were the feral population that you mentioned. I am going to print out Tim Dolby’r trip report and he has photos of Western Corellas. This is the link to his site. http://tim-dolby.blogspot.com.au/2011/03/western-australias-wonderful-south-west_29.html But your right about the throat. On some I could see no red at all. I was trying my best to follow the drawing and to notice every feature and so I was was trying very hard to find red on the throat which I thought (incorrectly) was something to look for. It was only apparent when a bird would lift up its head as shown in Tim’s photo too. All the best, Patrick On Fri, Feb 13, 2015 at 10:34 AM, Kev Lobotomi <kevlobotomi@hotmail.com> wrote: > Hi Patrick. They probably were western if they have long bill tips.
