The long-billed corella (Cacatua tenuirostris), or slender-billed corella is a cockatoo native to Australia. The long-billed corella can be found in the wild around western Victoria and southern New South Wales. Feral populations have sprung up in Sydney, Perth, Hobart and southeast Queensland from the release of captive birds. This has implications in Western Australia where this species may hybridize with the endangered southern race of the western corella.
