Order Gruiformes
Bustards (1)
The order Gruiformes is a very diverse group of birds that covers most of the world, except for Antarctica. They range in size from 6 inches to 5 feet tall. Gruiforms are usually brown, gray, and white, but there are exceptions. They are omnivorous , but usually eat more animals than plants. Most gruiforms nest on the ground, but there are exceptions here, too.
