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.
Cockatoo as a Pet. In the wild, cockatoos are very social animals and tend to flock together. Some of these flocks can include hundreds or thousands of cockatoos. They fly over their natural habitats of Indonesia, Australia, the Philippines and New Zealand together and need the company of their fellow bird mates.
