The Norfolk Island pines are more often than not festooned with Long-billed and Little Corellas. These birds are the greatest fun-lovers and hang upside down from whatever bit of foliage they've attached themselves to or fly short distances upside down or locked together with another Corella in flight. They make a tremendous racket. Walking under the pines, it is literally raining with the seeds from where they chew at the cones. Unfortunately they are not native to Western Australia and they are proliferating in such huge numbers that they are proving problematic.
