	Birds of India - PICIFORMES - Barbets - Woodpeckers - Honeyguides - Indicatoridae - Megalaimidae - Picidae - Birding - ...
		Birds of the PICIFORMES order are generally arboreal, nest in cavities and have altricial young.
		All Piciformes have zygodactyl feet (two toes forward and two back), with the exception of a North American genus of three-toed woodpeckers consisting of two members.
		Piciformes are generally insectivorous, exceptions being toucans (mostly fruit) and honeyguides (beeswax).

	Piciformes
		Six families of largely arboreal birds make up the order Piciformes, the best-known of them being the Picidae, which includes the woodpeckers and close relatives.
		In general, the Piciformes are insectivorous, although the toucans mostly eat fruit and the honeyguides beeswax.
		All Piciformes, like the owls and parrots, have zygodactyl feet—two toes forward and two back, an arrangement that has obvious advantages for birds that spend much of their time on tree trunks.

	Piciformes
		On Home-Earth, the modern Piciformes is made up of six clades: the widespread woodpeckers, piculets, and wrynecks (Picidae), the barbets (Capitonidae), the honeyguides of Africa and southern Asia (Indicatoridae), the toucans of Central and South America (Ramphastidae), and the tropical American jacamars (Galbulidae) and puffbirds (Bucconidae).
		Piciforms are zygodactylous, with two toes (II and III) on each foot pointing forward, the other two backward.
		Infant mortality rate among these birds is somewhat less than in other piciforms; the reason for this is unknown.

	Piciformes and Phylogenetic Relationships - InfoHub
		It is titled The phylogenetic relationships of the early Tertiary Primoscenidae Sylphornithidae and the sister taxon of crown group piciform birds.
		The systematic position of the Primoscenidae appears to be connected to the identity of the sister taxon of crown group Piciformes, as the primary search indicated Upupiformes (hoopoes and wood-hoopoes) and Bucerotiformes (hornbills) as sister taxa of Piciformes, whereas the constrained search resulted in sister group relationship between Coliiformes (mousebirds) and Piciformes.
		After the characters were compared and analyzed, the initial cladistic assignment of Zygodactylidae (as stated in the introduction of the article) was declared to be doubtful.
