Pelicaniformes (pelicans, cormorants and allies)[edit]

Tropicbird http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-billed_Tropicbird (There are only three species of bird in this entire order and I felt it would be strange to be so detailed about them. This is based on the red-billed tropicbird, because that had the nicest picture)

Upupidae (Hoopoe)[edit]

Hoopoe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upupidae Only one species. Hoopoe is plural, like sheep, I think. There is a giant extinct species, but wiki is not specific about its size.

Phoeniculidae (Woodhoopoes)[edit]

Green Wood Hoopoe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Woodhoopoe There are a lot more species of woodhoopoe than conventional hoopoe, for some reason. This species has a whole load of colours, despite its name.
