Yes, a cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus) is a type of cockatoo. Cockatiels are often referred to as "miniature cockatoos" due to their smaller size and similar physical characteristics to other members of the cockatoo family. However, they have distinct features that set them apart from other cockatoos, such as their distinct yellow crest and their quieter, more docile nature.
