Sylviidae
Sylviidae is a family of passerine birds that was part of an assemblage known as the Old World warblers. The family was a wastebin taxon with over 400 species of bird in over 70 genera. The family was poorly defined with many characteristics shared with other families. Advances in classification, particularly helped with molecular data, have led to the splitting out of several new families from within this group. Today the smaller family Sylviidae includes the typical warblers in the genus ''Sylvia'', the parrotbills of Asia (formerly a separate family Paradoxornithidae), a number of babblers formerly placed within the family Timaliidae (which is being split) and the wrentit, an unusual North American bird that has been a longstanding taxonomic mystery.
There is now evidence that these Sylvia "warblers" are more closely related to babblers (), and thus these birds are better referred to as Sylvia babblers, or just sylvids.〔http://creagrus.home.montereybay.com/sylvids.html〕
==Description==
Sylviids are small to medium-sized birds. The bill is generally thin and pointed with bristles at the base. Sylviids have a slender shape and an inconspicuous and mostly plain plumage. The wings have ten primaries, which are rounded and short in non-migratory species.〔del Hoyo, J. Elliott, A. & Christie, D. (editors). (2006) ''Handbook of the Birds of the World.
