La distinction entre les perruches et les perroquets a été faite de façon complètement aléatoire et est contestée par beaucoup d'ornithologues.
Dans la famille des Psittacidae, il y a les Psittaciformes (perroquets)et l'autre famille, les
Cacatuidae (KK2!!!) qui ne sont même pas considérés comme des vrais perroquets!!!
La famille des "vrais perroquets" est souvent sous divisée en deux sous familles, les Psittacinae et les Loriinae (lories and loriquets).
Dans d'autres systemes de classification les les Psittacinae et les Loriinae sont classés dans deux famille et non dans deux sous familles, les Psittacidae and Loriidae. Toujours pas de distinction entre les perruches et les perroquets ici, les perruches font partie des Psittacidae aussi...
Scientifiquement parlant, une perruche à le même statut qu'un gris.
Systematics
The following classification is a version in which several subfamilies are recognized. Molecular data (see above) suggests that several subfamilies might indeed be valid and perhaps even be elevated to family rank, but the arrangement of tribes in these is not well resolved at present.
