The parrot family Psittacidae (along with the family Cacatuidae comprising the order Psittaciformes) was traditionally considered to contain two [[subfamily|subfamilies]], the [[Psittacinae]] (typical parrots and allies) and the Loriinae ([[lories and lorikeets]]).<ref name="Collar, N.">{{cite book|last=del Hoyo|title=Handbook of Birds of the World, Vol.4|year=1997|publisher=Lynx Editions|page=281}}</ref>  However,  the tree of the parrot family now has been reorganized under the superfamily Psittacoidea: family Psittacidae has been split into three families, tribes Strigopini and Nestorini split out and placed under superfamily Strigopoidea and a new monotypic superfamily Cacatuoidea created containing family Cacatuidae.<ref name=Joseph2012/>

The following classification is based on the most recent proposal, which in turn is based on all the relevant recent findings.<ref name=Joseph2012>{{cite journal | last1 = Joseph | first1 = Leo | last2 = Toon | first2 = Alicia | last3 = Schirtzinger | first3 = Erin E. | last4 = Wright | first4 = Timothy F. | last5 = Schodde | first5 = Richard | year = 2012 | title = A revised nomenclature and classification for family-group taxa of parrots (Psittaciformes) | journal = Zootaxa | volume = 3205 | pages = 26–40 | doi = 10.11646/zootaxa.3205.1.2 }}</ref><ref name="White">{{cite journal|title=The evolutionary history of cockatoos (Aves: Psittaciformes: Cacatuidae)|journal=Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution|year=2011|volume=59|pages=615–622|author1= Nicole E.
