The Family Troglodytidae, also known as the wren family, is a group of small passerine birds found throughout the Americas. These birds are known for their energetic behavior, often darting in and out of bushes or hopping along the ground in search of insects and other small prey. Some common synonyms for this family include the wren tribe, the troglodyte family, and the cave bird family. While each species within the Family Troglodytidae has unique features and behaviors, they all share a distinct, compact body shape and a lively disposition that makes them a joy to observe in their natural habitats.
