They are related. Cockatiels are about 12 inches long from head to tail and Toos are much, much larger (depending on the subspecies). I recommend you research both these species on the web in order to answer your question. There are many differences between these 2 types of parrots.

Well, a parakeet is smaller than a parrot by a lot, and there is a cere above the parakeet's beak. A parrot is also very destructive. Mine has already taken practically a chunck out of the couch!

All parakeets are a kind of parrot. A parakeet is any species of small parrot with a relatively slender body and a long tapering tail. This includes budgerigars and other Australian grass parakeets, conures and Asian ring-necked parakeets.

  • Cockatoos come in different varieties, e.g. red-tailed black cockatoo, sulphur-crested cockatoo, yellow-tailed black cockatoo, and within these breeds there is little variation (if any) in colouring: cockatiels, while available in a limited variety of colours, have only one basic species, from which the variations in colour have been derived.
  • Cockatoos are much larger than cockatiels
  • Cockatoos have a more raucous call in the wild than cockatiels, which have a more melodic call
  • It is impossible to tell the difference between a male and female cockatoo just by looking at them; cockatielsare distinguished by their cheek patches, which are brighter and more prominent in males than in females
  • Cockatoos are better at imitating human speech; cockatiels specialise in imitating sounds such as whistles and tunes
