The passerines are a large order of birds, with over 5000 species. It includes many of the familiar birds. Most passerines tend to be small; however, the oropendulas, crows, ravens and lyrebirds tend to be large.^[1]^{p:330; p:358; p:390} Most passerines are in the Passeri suborder.^[1] They are joined by seriemas, falcons, caracaras, parrots and cockatoos in Australaves.^[2]
