New classification?[edit]

How about newly suggested families Rhynchocyclidae, Pipritidae, Platyrinchidae and Tachurididae?

species and orders[edit]

Not knowledgeable enough to change this, but. how can species be "divided into' a certain number of orders? Sfahey1948 (talk) 03:18, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Origin of "tyrant" name?[edit]

Is there any information on how these birds came to be called "tyrant"? There's nothing about them that suggests an obvious link to despotic rulers. There's nothing at wiktionary either. Hv (talk) 18:12, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
