I guess the distribution of a species is always fairly dynamic and at best you'll only be able to come up with a snapshot for a given year. Bird species do seem to migrate based on climatic conditions (or other reasons) and evidently this specie is now appearing in Melbourne (contrary to the map). This is confirmed by the Victorian Department of Primary Industries' information on Victorian cockatoos. So that does make the map in this article a little out of date. -Jeza 04:20, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Which image in taxobox?

Which of these two images should we put in the taxobox?

For the existing image:

Feather structure is more visible
Most common feeding pose and location
Hints at communal behaviour by showing the others in the background
Good contrast with background (new pic has bright tree background)
Colours are faithful (To me the new one appears oversaturated, compare with other pics)

For the new image:

More dramatic pose
Full lighting (existing pic has shadowed backside)
Tail colour exposed

P.S. Canberra is not within our range map. Who is the authority that decides range maps... can we update it?

The new image more clearly shows a number of the features, including the undertail colour, feet, beak and chest. The (lack of) orange band on the chest is what you use to easily distingish between Little and Long-billed Corella. I dispute any comments about faithful colours, your image needs to be brightened up if anything. I suggest we ditch what is in the gallery and expand the article a bit (the orange band could make for a DYK perhaps), then have both, personally.
