	Gruiformes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Their research led them to remove the Otidae, Eurypygidae, Rhynochetidae, Cariamidae, Mesitornithidae and Turnicidae from the Gruiformes.
		The Eurypygidae and Rhynochetidae were similar to Ardeiformes, and are therefore associated with certain birds that are traditionally interpreted as Ciconiiformes and others such as Charadriiformes in a vastly expanded Ciconiiformes.
		The Mesitornithidae and Cariamidae were indicated to be close to the Cuculiformes, but the Otididae did not seem to be close to other extant birds and on the placement of the Turnicidae they could reach no firm conclusion.

		Since the monophyly or polyphyly (realtedness or unrelatedness) of this "order" is not agreed upon by the professional community, it seems best to allow the advocates of the respective hypotheses to elaborate their own narratives to stand side by side for the consideration and comparison of the public community at large.
		Gruiformes is a diverse order constituting a morphologically disparate though genetically homogenous (relatively speaking) assemblage of paludicoline, aquatic and terrestrial birds, including the families Eurypgidae (subitterns), Otididae (bustards), Gruidae (cranes), the monotypic Aramidae (the limpkin), Heliornithidae (sun-grebes), Psophiidae (trumpeters), Cariamidae (seriemas), Rhynochetidae (the kagu), Rallidae (rails and allies), and the enigmatic Mesitornithidae (mesites, monias, roatelos).
		Defining the gruiform assemblage has historically been difficult, and classifications of these birds have altered widely.

	Eagle-Eye Tours New Caledonia
		New Caledonia is globally famous for a wonderfully bizarre and very unique species, the Kagu, the only member in the family Rhynochetidae.
		Most likely closely related to rails and cranes, this special bird occurs only on New Caledonia, an island with coastal plains and interior mountains, lying 1500 km east of Australia slightly smaller than New Jersey.
		This national park holds the world’s largest and most accessible population of the unique Kagu –a flightless ground bird belonging to a family endemic to New Caledonia (Rhynochetidae).

		Most birders who know of this isolated and ancient island learn first of the Kagu and only then find out where it lives.
		The magnificent Kagu, only member of the bird family Rhynochetidae, is perhaps best known for its loud calls and a strange nuptial display that reveals the beautiful wing pattern.
		It is a handsomely crested, bizarre, mainly nocturnal, and highly threatened species, thought to be most closely related to the cranes and rails.
