The little corella is a small white cockatoo growing to 35–41 cm (14–16 in) in length and weighs 370–630 g (13–22 oz), with a mean weight of 525 g (1.157 lb).

Anecdotal evidence indicates a palm cockatoo reaching 80 or 90 years of age in an Australian zoo, [26] although the oldest confirmed individual was aged 56 in London Zoo in 2000. [27] Although longevity of captive birds is known, the lifespan of palm cockatoos that live in the wild is still unknown.
