Vireo
family of birds
(Redirected from Vireonidae)
The vireos (/ˈvɪri.oʊ/) are a group of passerine birds that are mostly in the part of the New World. Their feathers are dull-colored and greenish, the smaller species slightly resembling wood warblers. New evidence from DNA places vireos as relatives of crows.[1] Vireos are mostly shy.[1]
