A general term for birds in the Bucconidae family of the woodpecker order. As the name suggests, birds in this family have large heads, short necks and tails, and a stocky body overall. When they are quietly perched on a branch, they puff out the feathers on their body and neck, hence the English name "puffy bird." Their beaks are broad and thick, with a hooked tip, and their legs are antidactyl. They are small to medium-sized birds, measuring 15 to 25 cm in length, with feathers in a blend of black, white, and brown, and both sexes are the same color.
