It depends which part of the world you are in. When discussing animal (or plant) species exotic means foreign (non-native to the area, introduced by humans). If you are in the toucan's natural range (in the neotropics) then no, otherwise yes.

As cockatiels are native to Australia, they are not exotic pets for Australians. However, if you live anywhere overseas, they are essentially classified as "exotic", not being native to that area.

∙ 13y agoYes, parrots are exotic animals and not truly domesticated with the possible exception of cockatiels and parakeets. Parrots may become good pets but some never adapt to human companionship. They require a lot of work and interaction as they are quite intelligent. In general, parrots are noisy, destructive and messy. They can also be expensive to feed and many require a specialized diet. Some of the larger birds can easily remove a finger should he not want to be touched. I currently have about 17 parrots so speak from experience.

In their native Australian habitat, they are found quite readily in the eastern states.
