Home›Bird Families›Taxonomic Rank›FamilyBrowse ByFamilyTaxonomic rank sorts taxa by their formal level, such as family, genus or order. Wikipedia states plainly that "Felidae is the family of mammals in the order Carnivora," naming both its own rank and the rank directly above it in the same sentence. This dimension lets a visitor compare taxa that sit at the same formal level of classification.FactsFamilySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonTaxonomic Rank OrderWell-attested6 1FamilyFilter Results112 entriesParent Taxon (Taxonomy Tree)AllPasseriformes (5)Geographic DistributionAllWestern hemisphere, from southern Canada to South America (1)Worldwide (1)Everyday GroupAllBird Of Prey Families (Raptors) (5)Cuckoo Families (1)Gull, Tern And Auk Families (2)Heron, Egret And Ally Families (5)Kingfisher And Ally Families (3)Other Bird Families (3)Owl Families (2)Parrot Families (2)Passerine Families (Songbirds) (80)Pigeon And Dove Families (1)Ratite And Flightless Bird Families (3)Shorebird Families (Waders) (2)Waterfowl Families (Ducks, Geese, Swans) (1)Woodpecker Families (2)BrowseCompareSelect all 112AcanthisittidaeFamilyAcanthizidaeFamilyAccipitridaeFamilyAcrocephalidaeFamilyAegithalidaeFamilyAlaudidaeFamilyAlcedinidaeFamilyAlcidaeFamilyAnatidaeFamilyArdeidaeFamilyArtamidaeFamilyAtrichornithidaeFamilyBombycillidaeFamilyBucerotidaeFamilyCacatuidaeFamilyCalcariidaeFamilyCampephagidaeFamilyCardinalidaeFamilyCathartidaeFamilyCerthiidaeFamilyCettiidaeFamilyCharadriidaeFamilyCiconiidaeFamilyCinclidaeFamilyCisticolidaeFamilyClimacteridaeFamilyColumbidaeFamilyConopophagidaeFamilyCorcoracidaeFamilyCorvidaeFamilyCotingidaeFamilyDicaeidaeFamilyDicruridaeFamilyEmberizidaeFamilyEstrildidaeFamilyEurylaimidaeFamilyFalconidaeFamilyFormicariidaeFamilyFringillidaeFamilyFurnariidaeFamilyGrallariidaeFamilyGruidaeFamilyHirundinidaeFamilyIcteridaeFamilyLaniidaeFamilyLaridaeFamilyLeiothrichidaeFamilyLocustellidaeFamilyMacrosphenidaeFamilyMalaconotidaeFamilyMaluridaeFamilyMelanopareiidaeFamilyMeliphagidaeFamilyMenuridaeFamilyMeropidaeFamilyMimidaeFamilyMonarchidaeFamilyMotacillidaeFamilyMuscicapidaeFamilyNectariniidaeFamilyNeosittidaeFamilyOriolidaeFamilyPachycephalidaeFamilyPandionidaeFamilyPanuridaeFamilyParadisaeidaeFamilyPardalotidaeFamilyParidaeFamilyParulidaeFamilyPasserellidaeFamilyPasseridaeFamilyPelecanidaeFamilyPetroicidaeFamilyPhilepittidaeFamilyPhoenicopteridaeFamilyPhylloscopidaeFamilyPicidaeFamilyPipridaeFamilyPittidaeFamilyPloceidaeFamilyPolioptilidaeFamilyPrunellidaeFamilyPsittacidaeFamilyPtilonorhynchidaeFamilyPycnonotidaeFamilyRallidaeFamilyRamphastidaeFamilyRegulidaeFamilyRemizidaeFamilyRhinocryptidaeFamilyRhipiduridaeFamilySagittariidaeFamilyScolopacidaeFamilySittidaeFamilySpheniscidaeFamilyStrigidaeFamilySturnidaeFamilySylviidaeFamilyThamnophilidaeFamilyThraupidaeFamilyThreskiornithidaeFamilyTimaliidaeFamilyTityridaeFamilyTrochilidaeFamilyTroglodytidaeFamilyTurdidaeFamilyTyrannidaeFamilyTytonidaeFamilyVangidaeFamilyViduidaeFamilyVireonidaeFamilyZosteropidaeFamilySources1.
