Cockatiel
Cacatuidae
Nymphicus hollandicus · Least concern
The nymphs of myth gave the cockatiel's genus its name: early Europeans found the bird that beautiful. The smallest cockatoo, 30 to 33 cm, it is one of the five most popular pet birds, kept in an estimated 4.8 million US households. Young males look like females until their first moult.

Galah
Cacatuidae
Eolophus roseicapilla · Least concern
In the late 1960s, the Australian footballers who played international rules against Irish sides took the nickname 'the Galahs', after a mocking remark about their uniform. The bird itself, one of Australia's most abundant, takes its name from gilaa, a word from Yuwaalaraay and neighbouring languages.

Sulphur-crested cockatoo
Cacatuidae
Cacatua galerita · Least concern
Fred, a sulphur-crested cockatoo, was still alive at 100 in 2014; in the wild these birds live only about 20 to 40 years. Another, Snowball, showed that the species can keep time to a musical beat, and some captive birds dance spontaneously to music.
