Arguably the most common (purposeful) white cockatoo hybrid in the world, Sulphur-crested x Umbrella crosses tend to be an even split between both parents.

Long-billed Corella x Sulphur-crested Cockatoos have been documented numerous times yet remain extremely rare in captivity.

Due to the similar appearance of the two species, Little Corella x Long-billed Corella hybrids aren’t noticed very often.
