A cockatoo is any of the 21 species belonging to the bird family Cacatuidae. Along with the Psittacoidea and the Strigopoidea, they make up the parrot order Psittaciformes. Cockatoos are instantly recognizable by their showy crests and curved bills. Their plumage is generally less colourful than that of other parrots, being mainly white, grey, or black, and often with coloured features in the crest, cheeks, or tail. On average they are larger than other parrots. Cockatoos prefer to eat seeds, tubers, corms, fruit, flowers and insects.
