Die Papageien entsprechen in der Systematik der Vögel der Ordnung der Psittaciformes (Papageienvögel). Die Systematik der Papageien ist aufgrund neuer phylogenetischer Untersuchungen stark im Umbruch. Traditionell werden Papageien jedoch in zwei Familien unterschieden, nämlich die Kakadus und die Eigentlichen Papageien.
Parrots, also known as psittacines /ˈsɪtəsaɪnz are birds of the roughly 393 species[citation needed] in 92 genera comprising the order Psittaciformes, found mostly in tropical and subtropical regions. The order is subdivided into three superfamilies: the Psittacoidea ("true" parrots), the Cacatuoidea (cockatoos), and the Strigopoidea (New Zealand parrots). One-third of all parrot species are threatened by extinction, with higher aggregate extinction risk (IUCN Red List Index) than any other comparable bird group. Parrots have a generally pantropical distribution with several species inhabiting temperate regions in the Southern Hemisphere, as well. The greatest diversity of parrots is in South America and Australasia.
Deze "echte" papegaaien (Psittacidae en Psittaculidae) vormen een zeer grote groep. De Zuid-Amerikaanse papegaaien zoals de ara's behoren samen met een aantal families die in Afrika voorkomen tot de Psittacidae (Papegaaien van Afrika en de Nieuwe Wereld). De lori's en parkieten uit Australazië en een aantal geslachten waaronder de dwergpapegaaien (geslacht Agapornis) uit Afrika en de vasap
