Editing Puffbird (section)

== Behavior ==
Puffbirds are by nature arboreal. Mostly secretive, they are  found singly or in small family groups. Species of the genus ''Monasa'', known as nunbirds, are more gregarious and found in flocks.<ref name="Campbell">{{cite book|author1=Bruce Campbell |author2=Elizabeth Lack |title=A Dictionary of Birds|publisher=Bloomsbury Publishing|date=2010|page=488|isbn=9781408138380|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=k_7UBAAAQBAJ&pg=PA488}}</ref>

As well as [[arthropod]]s, they may eat small lizards and plant material. Arthropod exoskeletons are regurgitated as pellets.<ref name=flower2008/><!-- cites previous three sentences, but not "sit-and-wait" term-->  The [[swallow-winged puffbird]] is the only member in the family that is known to capture insects from open perches.

=== Breeding ===
The breeding behaviour of puffbirds is not well known.<ref name="Campbell"/> Nests are burrows in dirt, rotten wood or termite mounds. Puffbirds are known to lay clutches of two or three eggs. The eggs are round, small, and white. The incubation period is around 15 days,<ref name=flower2008/><!-- cites prevouis 3 sentences --> and performed by both parents.<ref name="Campbell"/> Born blind and naked, the young can crawl to the entrance of the nest burrow at one or two days of age. There, their mother feeds them partly chewed insects. They fledge at around 20 to 21 days.<ref name="Campbell"/><!-- cites prevouis 3 sentences -->
