Family Vireonidae

Family Vireonidae
The vireos, greenlets, and shrike-vireos make up the family Vireonidae. They are typically dull-plumaged being mostly greenish in color. The smaller species resemble wood warblers with heavier bills. The family Vireonidae is restricted to the New World. They inhabit forest environments where they favor forest canopies and undergrowth. Males of most species are persistent singers. Their songs
are usually rather simple, monotonous and repetitive. The nests of many tropical species are unknown. Of those that are known, all build a cup-shaped nest that always hangs in a forked branch. All members of the family eat some fruit but mostly insects and other arthropods. There are four genera and 12 species of the family Vireonidae known to occur in Peru.
