- Apostlebirds are named for their habit of foraging in tight-knit groups of roughly a dozen (sometimes up to 30), which early settlers likened to the twelve biblical apostles, and they are cooperative breeders in the mud-nest-building family Corcoracidae, whose non-breeding relatives help build the large mud-bowl nest and feed the chicks.
