Hookbill could refer to
* the avicultural term for members of the parrot family (typically anything larger than a parakeet) based on the shape of the bill, distinguishing them from softbills and other birds such as doves and finches. This indicates the bird will use the bill to be an active climber and is recommended to be put in a cage with horizontal bars. It also refers to the much stronger crushing power of the beak.
