About These Birds
caturra
The cockatiel is the smallest member of the cockatoo family and one of the most popular pet birds globally. These gentle, intelligent parrots can learn to whistle tunes and mimic sounds. Wild cockatiels are nomadic, traveling in flocks following food and water availability across the Australian outback.
Raggiana Bird-of-paradise

Alfred Russel Wallace first described the species in 1873.
