👉 Rhaponeidales are a group of birds that primarily inhabit tropical regions, including Africa, Asia, and Australia. They have a distinctive crest or bill and feature long beaks, which they use to hunt insects for food. Some species also have feathers on their heads, while others lack them entirely. The term "rhaponeidale" refers to a male bird in this group, known for its distinctive bill and ability to mimic the calls of other birds.
