 Avidiversity  AVITOPIA - Ovenbirds

Scientific system: Clements et al.

Familia: Furnariidae

You can get "Checklist of the Ovenbirds of Planet Earth" as an e-book here.


The species-rich family of Ovenbirds is restricted to Central and South America. Their body length is 12 cm to 24 cm. Brownish tones predominate in the plumage. The family is extraordinarily diverse and therefore inhabits a wide variety of habitats. The food that is eaten by the different species is just as varied, but insects are of great importance to all of them. All species build closed nests. The family's name comes from the nest-building technique of some species, which use mud to form a nest that looks like an oven. The clutch sizes are 2 to 5.
