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.
Parrots are seed-eating birds, and essentially herbivorous, with  many species also frugivorous (fruit-eating). Most eat fruits, and  the nectar and pollen of flowering treeâ¦s.    They have strong curved beaks ideal for cracking hard shells of  seeds and nuts, including gumnuts in Australia.
