Animals & Nature. Cockatoos (Cacatuidae) are a group of parrots that include cockatiels, cockatoos and corellas. There are a total of 21 species in the cockatoo family, most of which inhabit Australia, the Philippines, several eastern Indonesian islands. Cockatoos are notable for their elaborate crest plumage.
Also, it is very easy to take care of the bird unlike other species of parrots. Although the bird is a native of Australia, it is quite common to find cockatiels as pets all over the world. Usually in the wild, cockatiels either live in pairs or in a small flock. You will find them living quite close to water bodies. However, pet shops today supply cockatiels to anyone who is interested in owning this beautiful, friendly and intelligent bird.
