Bird genera

Ptilotula is a genus of honeyeater consisting of species occurring in Australia and Papua New Guinea. The genus consists of six former members of Lichenostomus, and was created after a molecular analysis showed the genus was polyphyletic. The International Ornithologists' Union accepted this change and officially included the genus in reference lists from 2013. The type species is the yellow-tinted honeyeater (Ptilotula flavescens). Birds in this genus typically occupy dry open forest and woodland habitats, and can be found in arid and semi-arid environments.

Micromacronus is a bird genus in the family Cisticolidae endemic to the Philippines. Long considered to be monotypic, its members are known as miniature babblers or miniature tit-babblers. As the scientific as well as the common names indicate, their habitus resembles a diminutive version of the tit-babblers (Macronus). The genus was only described in 1962, upon the description of the first species, which had been collected by collector Manuel Celestino and Godofredo Alcasid, a zoologist at the Philippine National Museum. The genus was formerly placed in the family Timaliidae but a molecular p

The cinereous vulture (Aegypius monachus) is a creature that is hard to find as it is "a near threatened raptor that occurs in isolated populations across its range" (Çakmak). There were studies being conducted on the cinereous vulture and it indicates "that the Turkish birds hold, along with those from the Caucasus, an intermediate position between European (Balkan and Iberian) and North Asian (Mongolian) lineages" (Çakmak). The genus name Aegyp

Oreolais is a genus of birds in the family Cisticolidae. It contains species that were previously placed in the genus Apalis.

Polyerata is a genus of hummingbirds.

Origma is a genus of passerine birds in the family Acanthizidae.

Cercomacroides is a genus of antbirds in the family Thamnophilidae. These birds live in tropical areas from southern Central America to northern South America. There are six known species in this genus. They mostly live in the Amazon rainforest and on the east side of the Andes Mountains.These birds used to be part of the genus Cercomacra, but scientists made a new genus in 2014 after studying their DNA.The genus Cercomacroides includes six confirmed species. All species are classified as “Least Concern” (LC) by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

Paraclaravis is a genus that contains two species of doves that live in the Neotropics, with ranges in Middle America and South America. Paraclaravis doves have red eyes and pink legs, and the plumages of the males are primarily light grey-blue, and the females are primarily brown. Both sexes have a series of distinctive spots or bands on the wings. They are fairly arboreal for ground doves. Paraclaravis doves have a distinct fast and rocking flight pattern. They are found alone, in pairs or in small flocks in forests. Both species are generally local and rare, and appears to be associated wit

It was formerly considered to include a single species, the blue-rumped parrot (Psittinus cyanurus), but the Simeulue parrot (P. abbotti) was split as a distinct species by the IOC in 2021. A 2019 genetic analysis found that the genus Psittacula is paraphyletic with respect to Psittinus, indicating that Psittacula may have to be split into different genera in order to maintain Psittinus as a distinct genus.
