What is the common name of birds of the genus Pica?
"category of “feeding disorders in infancy and early childhood”, which is where pica was classified, from the DSM 5, pica was primarily diagnosed in children. However, since the removal of the category, psychiatrists have started to diagnose pica in people of all ages. The term pica originates in the Latin word for ""magpie"" (Picave), a bird that is famed for its unusual eating behaviors, where it is known to eat almost anything. In 13th-century Latin work, pica was referenced by the Greeks and Romans; however, it was not addressed in medical texts until 1563. In the southern United States in"

"Picus (genus) Picus is a genus of birds in the woodpecker family. It has representatives in Europe, Asia and North Africa. The genus name is Latin for a woodpecker. The type species was originally unclear, but is likely to have been the European green woodpecker. These are large woodpeckers, typically with green upperparts. They are found in forests or more open woodland, and lay their white eggs in a tree hole nest, typically on a bed of wood chips. ""Picus"" woodpeckers are primarily insect eaters, with several species specialising in taking ants or termites. Some species will also consume fruit"
"Woodpecker Woodpeckers are part of the family Picidae, a group of near-passerine birds that also consist of piculets, wrynecks, and sapsuckers. Members of this family are found worldwide, except for Australia, New Guinea, New Zealand, Madagascar, and the extreme polar regions. Most species live in forests or woodland habitats, although a few species are known that live in treeless areas, such as rocky hillsides and deserts, and the Gila woodpecker specialises in exploiting cacti. Members of this family are chiefly known for their characteristic behaviour. They mostly forage for insect prey on the trunks and branches of trees, and often"
"Pika A pika ( ; archaically spelled pica) is a small mammal, with short limbs, very round body, rounded ears, and no external tail. They resemble their close cousin the rabbit, but with shorter ears. They live in mountainous countries in Asia, and there are also two species in North America. Most pikas prefer rocky slopes. The large-eared pika of the Himalayas and nearby mountains is one of the highest living mammals; it is found at heights of more than . Pikas graze on a range of plants, mostly grasses, flowers and young stems. In the autumn, they pull hay,"

In 2008, the SACC, the last holdout, approved the merging of the genera, ""Rhea"" and ""Pterocnemia"" on August 7, 2008. This merging of genera leaves only the genus ""Rhea"". A former third species of rhea, ""Rhea nana"", was described by Lydekker in 1894 based on a single egg found in Patagonia, but today no major authorities consider it valid.

However, following a 2006 study, two other genera, ""Erythropitta"" and ""Hydrornis"", were split off, though all members of the family continue to be known as “pittas”. Pitta (genus) Pitta is a genus of birds in the Pittidae, or pitta family. They are secretive, brightly coloured birds that forage on the forest floor. They are long-legged and short-tailed with rounded wings. Nest construction, incubation and rearing of nestlings is performed by both parents. Incubation is completed in some 17 days, and the nestlings"

They are large rodents with dots and stripes on their sides, short ears, and barely visible tails. They are also referred to as ""gibnuts"" or ""royal rats"". The Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama has studied the possibilities of developing the paca as a viable high-priced food supply for the tropics. Pacas originated in South America and are one of the few mammal species that successfully emigrated to North America after the"

DNA sequencing has confirmed the sister relationships of these two groups. The family Picidae includes about 240 species arranged in 35 genera. Almost 20 species are threatened with extinction due to loss of habitat or habitat fragmentation, with one, the Bermuda flicker, being extinct and a further two probably being so. Woodpeckers range from tiny piculets measuring no more than in length and weighing to large woodpeckers which can be more than in length. The largest surviving species"

Pittas are all similar in general structure and habits, and have often been placed in a single genus, although as of 2009 they are now split into three genera, ""Pitta"", ""Erythropitta"" and ""Hydrornis"". Pittas are medium-sized by passerine standards, at in length, and stocky, with strong, longish legs and long feet. They have very short tails and stout, slightly decurved bills. Many, but not all, have brightly coloured plumage. Most pitta species are tropical, although a few species can be found in temperate climates. They"

Möhring named the rhea based on the Greek Titan Rhea, whose name is derived from the Greek ""Rhea"" () from έρα ""ground"". This was fitting with the rhea being a flightless ground bird. Depending on the South American region, the rhea is known locally as ""ñandú guazu"" (Guaraní, meaning big spider, most probably in relation to their habit of opening and lowering alternate wings when they run), ""ema"" (Portuguese), ""suri"" (Aymara and Quechua), or ""choique"" (Mapudungun).

The Piciformes contain about 71 living genera with a little over 450 species, of which the Picidae (woodpeckers and relatives) make up about half. In general, the Piciformes are insectivorous, although the barbets and toucans mostly eat fruit and the honeyguides are unique among birds in being able to digest beeswax (although insects make up the bulk of their diet). Nearly all Piciformes have parrot-like zygodactyl feet—two toes forward and two back, an arrangement"

The head, neck and breast are glossy black with a metallic green and violet sheen; the belly and scapulars (shoulder feathers) are pure white; the wings are black glossed with green or purple, and the primaries have white inner webs, conspicuous when the wing is open.

Etymologically, piculet is as a double diminutive of the Latin ""picus"", ""woodpecker"", see also Picus. In Greek, δρύοψ is woodpecker, which shares its roots with δρῦς, 'tree'; 'oak' and Druids. Found in Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela, its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, and heavily degraded former forest.

Predators of the pika include eagles, hawks, coyotes, bobcats, foxes, and weasels. The American Pika was described in the scientific literature by John Richardson in ""Fauna Boreali-Americana"" in 1828. The original scientific name was ""Lepus (Lagomys) princeps"". As they live in the high and cooler mountain regions, they are very sensitive to high temperatures, and are considered to be one of the best early warning systems for detecting global warming in the western"

In Europe, ""magpie"" is used by English speakers as a synonym for the European magpie: the only other magpie in Europe is the Iberian magpie (""Cyanopica cooki""), which is limited to the Iberian Peninsula. The Eurasian magpie is one of the most intelligent birds, and it is believed to be one of the most intelligent of all non-human"
"Picinae Woodpeckers are near passerine birds of the order Piciformes. They are one subfamily in the family Picidae, which also includes the piculets and wrynecks. They are found worldwide. Woodpeckers gained their English name because of the habit of some species of tapping and pecking noisily on tree trunks with their beaks and heads. This is both a means of communication to signal possession of territory to their rivals, and a method of locating and accessing insect larvae found under the bark or in long winding tunnels in the tree or upright log.

One genus, Ochotona, is recognised within the family, and it includes 30 species. It is also known as the ""whistling hare"" due to its high-pitched alarm call when diving into its burrow.

Although lowland pacas are not in danger of being extinct, local extinctions have occurred due to habitat destructions.

In particular, the popular term ""agouti"" or ""common agouti"" normally refers to species of the distinct genus ""Dasyprocta"" (such as the Central American agouti, ""Dasyprocta punctata"").

It is endemic to Brazil's Amazon basin where it occurs in seasonally flooded Várzea forests, which gives the bird its common name. Its natural habitat is tropical moist lowland forest, and as the trees are progressively being cleared in the Amazon basin, the population of the bird is declining, and as a consequence, the International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated it as an ""endangered species"".

In 1831, René-Primevère Lesson placed the bird in its own monotypic genus, ""Fregilipus"", a composite of ""Upupa"" and ""Fregilus"", the latter a defunct genus name of the chough."
