Description

The tyrant flycatchers are a family, Tyrannidae, of insectivorous birds. With over 400 species, they are the largest bird family. They are named for their tendency to aggressively defend their nests. While they are passerines, they are not oscines, and have only simple songs. They are not closely related to either Old World flycatchers or monarch flycatchers.
