Bare Eyed Cockatoos also known as Little Corellas or Short Billed Corellas are native to Austraila and New Guinea. They are a medium size bird between 14 - 16 inches. The adverage lifespan is up to 50 years. The coloring of the Bare Eyed is primarily white with touches of salmon-pink on their faces and a short white crest. They have a horn colored beak and a bare blue/grey patch around the eye. Like most of the white cockatoos there is a yellow wash beneath their wings and tail.
Bare Eyed Cockatoos are intelligent, inquisitive, playful and affectionate little clowns who love to show off. They are often overlooked due to their droll appearance. They don't fit the image most people envision when they think about Cockatoos.
Bare Eyed Cockatoos are not as destructive, loud or demanding as some of the other Cockatoos, but need just as much attention and stimulation. They can be a little nippy, especially if they don't get there own way or you are not their favorite person. They have amazing flying abilities. If clipping feathers, clip only the primary flight feathers and only enough so the bird will glide to the floor. They are a good bird for people who would like a cockatoo that is somewhat easier to care for then the larger species. A cockatoo in a smaller package.
