Colliformes:
The mouse birds form the order Colliformes. Mousebirds, found exclusively in Africa, are small, flocking birds. About the size of a common house sparrow, mousebirds congregate in large groups. They are often seen moving from tree to tree en masse, or sitting cheek to cheek in a line. The mousebird has very strong, clawed feet and is quite agile moving about tree limbs and small branches. All mousebirds have dull coloured plumage and crests.
