ANNUAL EXHIBITION 2021
SONGBIRDS
“Songbird, also called passerine, any member of the suborder Passeri (or Oscines), of the order Passeriformes, including about 4,000 species—nearly half the world’s birds—in 35 to 55 families. Most cage birds belong to this group. Songbirds are alike in having the vocal organ highly developed, though not all use it to melodious effect…” Quote from Encylopedia Brittanica’s website, brittanica.com.
Even the American Crow and Common Raven are “songbirds,” but this selection is oriented toward birds that come closer to our common conception of the suborder.
