Any of the birds of the Eurylaimidae family of passerines. This family is considered to be the most primitive group of passerines because of anatomical features such as the syrinx and leg tendons. It consists of 14 species in 8 genera, and is distributed in Africa and southern Asia. Total length is 13-30 cm. As the name suggests, the beak is short and wide. The tip of the upper beak is hooked. The head is large and the body is generally stocky, but some species have long tails. The plumage color varies depending on the species, from all green to dark brown to black head, neck and back with a deep pink belly. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
