Cockatoo

The next position on the list of the friendliest bird in the world is the cockatoo which is any of the 21 parrot species in the Cacatuidae family, the only family in the Cacatuoidea superfamily. They are part of the order Psittaciformes, which also includes the Psittacoidea and the Strigopoidea. The family is primarily found in Australasia, ranging from the Philippines and the Wallacea islands in eastern Indonesia to New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Australia.

Cockatoos are popular aviculture birds, but their requirements are difficult to meet. The cockatiel is the simplest cockatoo species to care for and is the most commonly kept in captivity. Captive white cockatoos are more common than black cockatoos. The illegal trade in wild-caught birds contributes to the extinction of some cockatoo species.

Cockatoo is a 17th-century word derived from Dutch kaketoe, which is derived from Malay kakaktua. Cacato, cockatoon, and crockadore were used in the seventeenth century, and cokato, cocatore, and cocatoo were used in the eighteenth. The derivation is also used for the family and generic names Cacatuidae and Cacatua. Cockatoos are birds that people who keep them as pets adore. These birds are intelligent and social. They certainly deserve to be known as the friendliest birds on the planet. Cockatoos are popular house birds due to their ability to mimic sounds.
