Cacatuinae
This tree diagram shows the relationships between several groups of organisms.
The root of the current tree connects the organisms featured in this tree to their containing group and the rest of the Tree of Life. The basal branching point in the tree represents the ancestor of the other groups in the tree. This ancestor diversified over time into several descendent subgroups, which are represented as internal nodes and terminal taxa to the right.
You can click on the root to travel down the Tree of Life all the way to the root of all Life, and you can click on the names of descendent subgroups to travel up the Tree of Life all the way to individual species.

| Comments | These galahs were probably nesting and made a big song and dance as we walked past, apparently Galah language for "go away". This bird raised and spread every feather he had including a great view of his crest which you don't see all that often on Galahs. Galahs are another of my favourite birds, partly because of their exceptionally beautiful and sophisticated non-garish pink and grey colouring, partly because they have interesting personalities and partly because they are so common and generally maligned and dismissed and thus (at least in my view) deserve some positive discrimination for a change. |
