PHILIP ISLAND PARROI . — Nestor jjroductus. 
A very singular form of Cockatoo is that which is known as the Philip 
Island, or the Long-billed Parrot. 
This bird is only found in the little island from which it derives its name. It 
may probably become extinct at no distant period, as its singularly shaped beak 
renders it an object of attraction to those who get their living by supplying the 
dealers with skins and various objects of natural history ; and its disposition is so 
gentle and docile that it readily accommodates itself to captivity.
