	What makes a parrot a parrot?
		Psittidae and Cacatuidae have a very muscular tongue, which they use to move food out of the mouth and into the esophagus.
		In the home, the people become the bird's family, and frequent interaction with humans is necessary for their well-being.
		In addition to the voice, members of the Cacatuidae family have an erectile crest, which they use for communication.

	Psittaciformes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The order Psittaciformes includes about 342 species of bird which are generally grouped into two families: the Cacatuidae or cockatoos, and the Psittacidae, the parrots.
		The majority view, however, is that the Cacatuidae are quite distinct, having a movable headcrest, different arrangement of the carotid arteries, a gall bladder, different skull bones, and not having the Dyck texture feather composition which, in the Psittacidae, scatters light in such a way as to produce the vibrant colours of so many parrots.
		At this point, however, is found the first unambiguous parrot fossil (as opposed to a parrot-like one), an upper jaw which is indistinguishable from that of a modern white cockatoo.

	Cockatiels (Nymphicus hollandicus)
		A gentle and docile bird, cockatiels are nomadic, ranging across the Australian grasslands and savannah looking for food and appropriate nest sites.
		Cockatiels are the smallest member of the cockatoo family (Cacatuidae), sharing many similarities including the characteristic crest, broad head, and males and females that share incubation responsibilities.
		Cockatiel males also do not display any obvious courtship rituals.

	Parrot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		All parrots are zygodactyl, having the four toes on each foot placed two at the front and two back.
		Along with the cockatoo family (the Cacatuidae), the parrot family makes up the order Psittaciformes.
		The term "parrot" can be used in either the narrow sense of the parrot family Psittacidae or the broad sense of the order Psittaciformes.

		Auk, The: Molecular systematics and biogeography of the Cockatoos (Psittaciformes: Cacatuidae)
		The cockatoos, family Cacatuidae, have long been recognized as a unique group within the Psittaciformes (Adams et al.
		Morphologically, cockatoos are distinguished from other parrots by having an erectile crest and lacking dyck texture in their feathers, which produces blue and green in the plumage of other parrots.

	Articles - Cockatiel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		There are several significant characteristics that are unique to Cockatiels, including an erectile crest, a gallbladder, and powder down patches.
		Recent genetic studies have confirmed the position of the Cockatiel within the family Cacatuidae; currently it is placed as the only species in the genus Nymphicus and in the subfamily Nymphicanae.
		It is clearly more closely related to the Calyptorhynchinae (fl cockatoos) than to the Cactuinae (white cockatoos), and despite its obvious differences, is thought to have diverged from the fl cockatoos quite recently.

		This order includes three families: Cacatuidae, Loriidae and Psittacidae.* Cockatoos and cockatiels of Australasia are the Cacatuidae, lories and lorikeets found in Australasia and Oceania form the Loriidae, and the more widely distributed Psittacidae includes all the others.
		The vast majority of parrots live in the southern hemisphere, with the largest populations and diversity of species found in the neo-tropics (Central and South America) and Australasia.

	Parrot research and conservation biology
		David Brown and I sequenced a 433 base-pairs region of the mitochondrial 12S ribosomal subunit, to explore several unresolved questions about the evolutionary relationships with the family Cacatuidae.
		Because our work was based on relatively few base pairs, our results await confirmation.
		We also concluded that poaching rates remain high on some large, valuable species of parrots and we propose that these species have particular life histories (high longevity, late age and low rate of reproduction) that cannot sustain such high rates of harvest.
