List of Birds of Peru - Tyrant Flycatchers

Tyrant Flycatchers

Order: Passeriformes. Family: Tyrannidae

Tyrant flycatchers are passerine birds which occur throughout North and South America. They superficially resemble the Old World flycatchers, but are more robust with stronger bills. They do not have the sophisticated vocal capabilities of the songbirds. Most, but not all, have plain colouring. As the name implies, most are insectivorous. Peru has the largest number of tyrant flycatchers contained in any country and indeed is the largest assemblage of a family in any country on earth.
