Parrot beaks
The division of living beings into systematics is a continuous subject of research. Different systematic classifications exist side by side and one after the other. The taxon treated here has become obsolete due to new research or is not part of the group systematics presented in the German-language Wikipedia.
The parrot's beaks (Paradoxornithidae) were described by John Gould in 1836 as the family of passerine birds (Passeriformes), after a reorganization first with the Timalia (Timaliidae) and in 2009 by Gelang et al. incorporated into the warblers (Sylviidae). This was accompanied by numerous renaming of the binomial species names . The bearded tit ( Panurus biarmicus ), which was formerly also part of the parrot's beaks, is now considered to be the only species of the Panuridae family. Parallel was genus Yuhina by Cibois et al. 2003 and Moyle et al. 2009 incorporated into the Zosteropidae family by the Timalia .
The birds are mainly found in India and South Asia. They are 10–28 cm small, long-tailed brownish birds. Most species only have stubby beaks. Their feed consists mainly of seeds, e.g. B. Grass seeds.
