Cultrirostres

/ˌkʌltrɪˈrɑstriːz/ noun

Definition

A group or category of birds characterized by having knife-shaped beaks.

Etymology

From cultrirostral + -es (plural ending). This is a taxonomic or classification term used historically in ornithology (bird science).

Kelly Says

Scientists used to organize birds into groups based on beak shapes—'cultrirostres' was one category—which seems basic now, but it was a clever way to group similar birds before we could look at their DNA.
