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.
Popular Pet Cockatoo Species. Cockatoos are certainly attractive birds, but not everyone is suited to own one. There are several different cockatoo types, all of which are popular options as pets. But cockatoos, who are part of the parrot family, are not the easiest birds care for. Some potential owners are attracted to cockatoos for their attractive plumage but are unaware that the birds need a lot of attention and can be very noisy.
