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.
