/wiki/Green_wood_hoopoe

The green wood hoopoe (Phoeniculus purpureus) is a large, up to 44 cm (17 in) long, near-passerine tropical bird native to Africa. It is a member of the family Phoeniculidae, the wood hoopoes, and was formerly known as the red-billed wood hoopoe.

Green Wood Hoopoes form groups of up to a dozen during the breeding season, with only a single breeding pair. When chicks hatch all the birds in a group help to raise the young.
