 ==Origin==
 {{wikipedia}}
 A cockatoo is any of the 21 species of parrots belonging to the family ''Cacatuidae'', the only family in the superfamily ''Cacatuoidea''. Along with the ''Psittacoidea'' (true parrots) and the ''Strigopoidea'' (large New Zealand parrots), they make up the order ''Psittaciformes''. The word "cockatoo" dates from the 17th century and is derived from Dutch ''kaketoe'', which in turn is from the Indonesian/Malay ''kakatua''.

-Cockatoos are not especially threatening when hostile, and at worst a hero can throw a [[food ration]] or other vegetarian "people food" to pacify it. As a pet, it is not especially remarkable to warrant taming unless the hero requires a pet to test the [[beatitude]] of items in a pinch.
