Five species have been recorded in Peru. Order: GalbuliformesFamily: Galbulidae  The jacamars are near passerine birds from tropical South America with a range that extends up to Mexico. They feed on insects caught on the wing and are glossy, elegant birds with long bills and tails. They resemble the Old World bee-eaters, although they are more closely related to puffbirds. Thirteen species that have been recorded in Peru. Order: GalbuliformesFamily: Bucconidae  The puffbirds are related to the jacamars and have the same range, but lack the iridescent colors of that family. They are mainly brown, rufous, or gray, with large heads and flattened bills with hooked tips. The loose abundant plumage and short tails makes them look stout and puffy, giving rise to the English common name of the family. Twenty-four species have been recorded in Peru. Order: PiciformesFamily: Capitonidae  The barbets are plump birds, with short necks and large heads. They get their name from the bristles which fringe their heavy bills. Most species are brightly colored. Seven species have been recorded in Peru. Order: PiciformesFamily: Ramphastidae  Toucans are near passerine birds from the Neotropics. They are brightly marked and have enormous, colorful bills which in some species amount to half their body length. Nineteen species have been recorded in Peru. Order: PiciformesFamily: Picidae  Woodpeckers are small to medium-sized birds with chisel-like beaks, short legs, stiff tails, and long tongues used for capturing insects. Some species have feet with two toes pointing forward and two backward, while several species have only three toes. Many woodpeckers have the habit of tapping noisily on tree trunks with their beaks. Thirty-nine species have been recorded in Peru. Order: FalconiformesFamily: Falconidae  Falconidae is a family of diurnal birds of prey. They differ from hawks, eagles, and kites in that they kill with their beaks instead of their talons. Eighteen species have been recorded in Peru. Order: PsittaciformesFamily: Psittacidae  Parrots are small to large birds with a characteristic curved beak.
