"rest horizontally"[edit]

The article says that they rest horizontally on branches during the day, but the accompanying illustration doesn't look very horizontal. As a non-expert, I interpret this to mean that they rest parallel to the branch, but the image shows them sitting upright on the branch. Can someone with a better understanding clarify?

Order[edit]

In the order field this article says 'see text'. Shouldn't that be 'Podargiformes'? — Preceding unsigned comment added by How come why not (talk • contribs) 16:24, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
