Along with the Psittacidae (true parrots) and the Strigopidae (large New Zealand parrots), they make up the parrot order Psittaciformes (parrots).

He was the winner of the popular vote for president three times—in 1884, 1888, and 1892—and was the only Democrat elected to the presidency in the era of Republican political domination that lasted from 1860 to 1912.
