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.
There are a few species of cockatoos that don't fall squarely into the recumbent and recursive categories. These birds, like the Goffin cockatoo, have unusually small crests, sometimes called modified recumbent crest. Other common small crested cockatoos include the rose breasted, slender billed and black cockatoos.
