Guarda-rios e cucaburras
A maioria dos guarda-rios, como o nome indica, podem ser encontrados a “patrulhar” zonas húmidas e cursos de água pelo mundo fora, em busca de peixe, que é capturado em mergulho, com o seu grande bico em forma de lança. No entanto, várias espécies de guarda-rios e os cucaburras da Austrália são na verdade aves inteiramente terrestres, de ambientes florestais, onde usam o seu bico para capturar presas animais. As aves desta família nidificam em cavidades nas árvores ou buracos no solo.
