The Psittaciformes are the cockatoos and parrots. Theree are over 340 species of Psittaciform and they are located to warmer parts of the world, in partucular Australasia and Central-South America. They have curved beaks and zygodactyl feet (2 toes point forwards and 2 point backwards). They also possess a number of unique characters which makes their relationship with other orders of bird difficult to resolve.
