A '''paracorvid''' or '''basal oscine''' is an informal grouping of birds that closely related to birds in [[Corvida]].

A paracorvid or basal oscine is an informal grouping of birds that closely related to birds in Corvida. They branch off separately before the split between the Corvida proper and Passerida (see Ericson et al., 2002a; Barker et al., 2004; Irestedt and Ohlson, 2008).[3][4][5]

Description

They range from small to large, the Weebill at 8 cm (3.1 in) and pardalotes and fairywrens being the smallest at 9–12 cm (3.5–4.7 in) and lyrebirds being the largest at 76–103 cm (30–41 in). The lyrebirds are the largest passerines, tied with crows and ravens.

Distribution

This grouping is only Australasian, and some of the honeyeaters are found outside of this area, including the Indonesian Honeyeater, which is found in Indo-Malaya and some species are found near the Wallace's Line.
