The little corella (Cacatua sanguinea) is a white bird species in the cockatoo family, Cacatuidae. It is native to mainland Australia, in a broad arc from eastern South Australia through Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and the Northern Territory around to coastal Western Australia. The species is also native to southern New Guinea and has been introduced to Tasmania. Its habitat includes savanna, shrubs and grasses as well as urban settings. It grows to a length between 35 and 41 centimetres (14 and 16 in), with a mass between 370 and 630 grams (13 and 22 oz). This little corella of the subspecies C. s. gymnopsis was photographed perching on a tree branch near the Murray River in Paisley, South Australia, across the river from Blanchetown.
