Ovenbird (family): Difference between revisions

'''Ovenbirds''' or '''furnariids''' are a large family of small [[suboscine]] [[passerine]] birds found from [[Mexico]] and [[Central America|Central]] to southern [[South America]]. They form the family '''Furnariidae'''. This is a large family containing around 315 [[species]] and 70 [[genera]]. The [[ovenbird]] (''Seiurus aurocapilla''), which breeds in [[North America]], is not a furnariid – rather it is a distantly related bird of the [[New World warbler|wood warbler]] family, Parulidae.

The ovenbirds are a diverse group of [[insectivore]]s which get their name from the elaborate, vaguely "oven-like" clay nests built by the [[hornero]]s, although most other ovenbirds build stick nests or nest in tunnels or clefts in rock.<ref name=Remsen2003>Remsen, J.

Lynx Edicions, Barcelona.</ref> The [[Spanish language|Spanish]] word for "oven" ''(horno)'' gives the horneros their name. Furnariid nests are always constructed with a cover, and up to six pale blue, greenish or white [[eggBird (biology)egg|eggs]] are laid. The eggs hatch after 15 to 22 days, and the young fledge after a further 13 to 20 days.<ref name=EoB>{{cite book |editor=Forshaw, Joseph|author= Willis, Edwin O.|year=1991|title=Encyclopaedia of Animals: Birds|publisher= Merehurst Press|location=London|pages= 162–163|isbn= 978-1-85391-186-6}}</ref>
