WHAT DOES CORACIIFORM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Coraciiformes

The Coraciiformes are a group of usually colorful near passerine birds including the kingfishers, the bee-eaters, the rollers, the motmots, and the todies. They generally have syndactyly, with three forward-pointing toes, though in many kingfishers one of these is missing. This is largely an Old World order, with the representation in the New World limited to the dozen or so species of todies and motmots, and a mere handful of the more than 90 species of kingfishers. The name Coraciiformes means "Raven-like", which is a misnomer. Specifically, it comes from the Latin language "Corax", meaning "Raven" and Latin "Forma", meaning "form", which is the standard ending for bird orders.

Definition of coraciiform in the English dictionary
