Well obviously the 13-year-old dipshit idiots are having a field day...
They're birds of the family Cacatuidae, order Psittaciformes; in other words, they're parrots. They're mostly found in Australia and its surrounding territory. The mid-sized, yellow-crested, white-feathered bird you see in fiction is just one species, but it is the most common one.
You have a pet cockatiel? That's the smallest genuine species of cockatoo, and the easiest to tame; the others are more difficult to domesticate, and probably not worth your time unless you know your stuff.

tl;dr cockatoos are Australian parrots, not whatever other shitty definition a bunch of brain-deprived prepubescent boys made up on the spot.

Cockatooing is a syndrome that effects nearly 100% of the male population. It is the act where one always finds himself holding long objects to where is cock is to simulate/emulate a cock. Common long objects include bananas, knives, machetes, blocks of cheese, sausages, remotes, carrots, lobster, egg rolls, etc...
"Yo stop cockatooing with my lobster!"
"Dude you really need to work on your cockatooing problem"
"Dude I really wish I could cockatoo that ships mast!"

A really loving bird who will be a lifelong companion if you choose one as an avian friend.
Cockatoos are often misunderstood, many people including a Battle Creek Michigan bird rescue like to say that cockatoos are hard to satisfy and that people can't fulfill the bird's best interest.
Although those people don't know the birds' best interests, most people don't understand that cockatoos aren't "One size fits all" animals like dogs. Cockatoos have different personalities and only the true owner of the bird can say what the bird's best interest is.
Even an adult that has cared for multiple birds can never truly say what a cockatoo's best interest is until they've actually had a cockatoo as an avian companion.

This word is being defined incorrectly on UD. The real meaning of this word is slang for diarrhea. Usually it's used in plural form.
