Musophagiformes
Extracted from the Wikipedia article Turaco.
Traditionally, this group has been allied with the cuckoos in the orderCuculiformes, but the Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy raises this group to a full order Musophagiformes. They have been proposed to link the hoatzin to the other living birds, but this was later disputed. Recent genetic analyses have strongly supported the order ranking of Musophagiformes.
