Coerebidae

/koʊˌɛrəˈbaɪdi/ noun

Definition

A family of small songbirds found in Central and South America, commonly known as honeycreepers.

Etymology

From the genus name Coereb- (likely from a Taino or Caribbean indigenous language) + -idae, the Linnaean taxonomy suffix for animal families. The exact origin of 'Coereb-' is uncertain but may relate to indigenous Caribbean words.

Kelly Says

The Coerebidae are tiny, colorful birds that fill similar ecological roles to warblers, but they're not closely related—they evolved independently. This is a great example of convergent evolution, where different animals develop similar shapes and behaviors to exploit the same food sources (nectar and insects).
