A cockatoo in Australia reportedly reached 120 years in age, making it the oldest bird of all time! The cockatoo was named Cocky Bennett and had lost all of his feathers by the time he passed away!
Cockatoos are some of the most popular exotic birds on the international pet trade. They are a common spectacle in zoos and sometimes kept as pets.
The cockatoo bird is a type of parrot that comprises the family of Cacatuidae. The name comes from the Dutch word kaketoe, which is derived from the local Indonesian name kakaktua – ‘kaka’ meaning parrot. Along with the true parrots and the New Zealand parrots, it is one of the few major families that make up the order of parrots known as the Psittaciformes. There are currently 21 living species of cockatoos spread across seven different genera. Very few extinct cockatoos are known from the fossil record.
