The western corella (''Cacatua pastinator'') formerly known as the western long-billed corella, is a species of white cockatoo endemic to south-western Western Australia. ==Taxonomy== Cacatuidae is one of three families of the large and diverse avian order Psittaciformes which consists of 370 species.〔White, N.E., Phillips, M.J., Gilbert, M.T.P., Alfaro-Nunez, A., Willerslev, E., Mawson, P.R., Spencer, P.B.S, Bunce, M. (2011). The evolutionary history of cockatoos (Aves: Psittaciformes: Cacatuidae). ''Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution'' 59:615-622.〕 Cockatoo’s are distinguished from other parrots by five main morphological features – a crest, lack of "green" dyck-texture in the plumage, yellow natal down, a gall bladder, and bridge temporal fossa〔Adams, M., Baverstock, P.R., Saunders, D.A., Schodde, R., Smith, G.T. (1984). Biochemical Systematics of the Australian Cockatoos (Psittaciformes: Cacatuniae). ''Australian Journal of Zoology'' 32:363-377.〕 The Western Corella (also known as the Western Long-billed Corella) ''Cacatua pastinator'' consists of two geographically isolated sub-species, Butler’s Corella (''Cacatua pastinator butleri'') and Muir’s Corella (''Cacatua pastinator pastinator'')〔Chapman, T., Cale, B. (2008). Muir’s Corella (''Cacatua pastinator pastinator'') Recovery Plan. Department of Environment and Conservation, Western Australia.〕 One of these two isolated populations occurs in the northern wheat-belt of south-western Australia, the other, consisting of larger birds occurs in the far south west of Western Australia. The northern ''Cacatua pastinator butleri'' consists of generally of smaller birds than the southern ''Cacatua pastinator pastinator'', which indicates that the two populations may have once been connected clinally.〔
