A general term for birds in the family Galbulidae of the order Picidae. Birds in this family have long beaks and tails, and have streamlined, slender bodies with short legs. The name comes from the fact that the beak is pointed like an awl and is long and straight. The legs are antidactyl, like other birds in the order Picidae. Total length is 12 to 30 cm. The plumage is metallic green or black above, and yellowish brown, reddish brown, or black below. Both sexes have similar plumage, but generally males have white throats and females have brown throats. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
