垂耳鸦科

垂耳鸦科(学名:Callaeidae)是雀形目的一个科,有3属5种(现存2属4种),为新西兰特有种。

垂耳鸦亦常常被误称为垂蜜鸟(英文:Wattlebird)。实际上,垂耳鸦与垂蜜鸟差别巨大,垂蜜鸟属于吸蜜鸟科(学名:Meliphagidae)且分布于澳大利亚。而垂耳鸦科下的物种分布于新西兰。正因如此,垂耳鸦时常也被称为新西兰垂蜜鸟(英文:New Zealand Wattlebirds)。

Callaeidae 垂耳鸦科

The small bird family Callaeidae (also named in some sources as Callaeatidae) is endemic to New Zealand. It contains three monotypic genera, with five species in the family. One, the huia, became extinct early in the 20th century.

The Callaeidae are often known as wattlebirds, a term that leads to confusion, as there are other, unrelated species with this same name, notably the large Australian wattlebirds of the family Meliphagidae, which are honeyeaters. For this reason New Zealand wattlebirds is the informal name for this family used by the scientific community. Equally confusingly, they are also sometimes known as wattled crows, even though they are not corvids and are only distantly related to crows.
