Old World Babblers
- Order: Passeriformes
- Family: Timaliidae
The Old World babblers are a large family of mostly Old World passerine birds. They are rather diverse in size and coloration, but are characterised by soft fluffy plumage. These are birds of tropical areas, with the greatest variety in southeast Asia. These birds have strong legs, and many are quite terrestrial. This group is not strongly migratory, and most species have short rounded wings, and a weak flight. Morphological diversity is rather high; most species resemble "warblers", jays or thrushes. All of the following species have been introduced to Hawaii.
- Greater Necklaced Laughingthrush, Garulax pectoralis (I)
- Grey-sided Laughingthrush, Garulax caerulatus (I)
- Hwamei, Garrulax canorus (I)
- Red-billed Leiothrix, Leiothrix lutea (I)

Famous quotes containing the word world:
“If America does not wish to end her days in the same nursing home as Britannia she had best end this geo-babble about new world orders. Our war, the Cold War, is over. It is time for America to come home.”
—Patrick Buchanan (b. 1938)
