There are only two species of birds in the Corcoracidae family. Both are found in Australia.

Corcoracids are very social birds that live in family groups. They spend much of their time walking on the ground, searching through leaf litter for insects, spiders, seeds, and other small food. They stay in contact by calling to one another and often work together to find food and raise their young.

The White-winged Chough (Corcorax melanorhamphos) is a large, glossy black bird with bright red eyes, a long, slightly curved bill, and broad white patches on its wings that are easy to see when it flies.

The Apostlebird (Struthidea cinerea) is a brownish-gray bird with a long tail and a slightly curved bill. It gets its name from the old belief that it always traveled in groups of 12 birds, like Jesus and his 12 apostles. In fact, apostlebirds usually live in family groups of about 8 to 18 birds, although group sizes can vary.
