Section 9F – Passeroidea: Finches, Sparrows, Tanagers and Allies

Order Passeriformes (Perching Birds)

Finch-like songbirds: finches, sparrows, pipits, New World warblers & tanagers

The final subsection of the passerines covers a large and widespread group of songbirds found across Africa, Eurasia, Australasia, and the Americas. It starts with several mainly tropical nectar-feeding lineages — sugarbirds, flowerpeckers, sunbirds, leafbirds, and fairy-bluebirds — then moves into the broader finch, sparrow, tanager and blackbird groups.

This is one of the most diverse parts of the passerines, ranging from tiny waxbills to Himalayan accentors, from wagtails and pipits to weavers, and from New World sparrows to the colourful tanagers and blackbirds of the Americas.
