Abstract
While many people enjoy seeing little corellas, large flocks in urban and rural areas cause considerable problems in the warmer months. The most common problems are damage to trees (defoliation), taking grain, and disturbing residents with loud vocalisations. These native birds can also damage buildings, particularly when they chew flashing or wiring, tarpaulins, wooden structures, cars and a variety of crops. There is significant public contention regarding the management of little corellas. Managing little corellas can be difficult. Many local councils have a history of problems with little corellas, and they have invested significant resources into developing strategies for their management. Extensive experience and knowledge of little corellas exists within these individual agencies and in local communities, but little information sharing or coordination of activities occurs among groups. The purpose of the Discovery Circle’s Little Corellas project was to explore management issues in city and town areas around South Australia in partnership with state government, local government and local communities.
