A general term for birds of the passerine order, family Dicaeidae, which includes the flowerpeters. This family is divided into seven genera and about 58 species, including the parakeets. Most species are small birds less than 10 cm in length, and males are usually brightly colored, with red, yellow, blue, or black feathers on the head, chest, back, and lower back. Generally, the sexes are different in color, but the few species that are monochromatic have females that blend in with the color, mainly green or olive brown. The beak is relatively short, strong, and pointed. The legs are also strong. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
