They are not particularly closely related, but share some characteristics, such as being fairly small, active and [[insectivorous]]. They are mostly brownish or dull greenish in color, of small size, easier seen than heard, and hard to identify to species. To [[Old World]] [[birders]], "warblers" are the archetypal "LBJs" ("little brown jobs"). ===Sylvioid "warblers"=== These are somewhat closer related to each other than to other "warblers". They belong to a [[superfamily]] also containing [[Old World babbler]]s, [[bulbul]]s, etc. * '''"Old World warblers"''', formerly all in family [[Sylviidae]] ** '''[[Leaf-warbler]]s''', now in family [[Phylloscopidae]] ** '''Typical [[bush-warbler]]s''', now in family [[Cettiidae]] ** '''[[Grass warbler]]s''' and '''megalurid bush-warblers''', now in family [[Megaluridae]] ** '''[[Marsh-warbler|Marsh-]] and [[tree warbler]]s''', now in family [[Acrocephalidae]] ** '''True warblers''' or '''sylviid warblers''', remaining in family [[Sylviidae]] or moved into [[Timaliidae]] * '''[[Malagasy warbler]]s''', a newly assembled family ("Bernieridae") * '''Cisticolid warblers''', family [[Cisticolidae]] * '''"[[African warblers]]"''', possibly another novel family ===Passeroid "warblers"=== The two families of [[Americas|American]] "warblers" are part of another superfamily, which unites them with [[Passeridae|sparrow]]s, [[Emberizidae|bunting]]s, [[fringillidae|finches]], etc * '''[[Olive Warbler]]''', [[monotypic]] family Peucedramidae * '''[[New World warbler]]s''', family Parulidae ===Other=== * '''Tit-warblers''' or flycatcher-tits, family [[Stenostiridae]] These are closely related to the [[Paridae|titmice and chickadees]] * '''[[Australian warbler]]s''', family [[Acanthizidae]] These are the most distinct group of "warblers". They are not closely related at all to the others, but rather to the [[honeyeater]]s and [[fairy-wren]]s. [[category:warblers|*]] [[fr:Fauvette]] [[io:Silvio]]
