The Antbird is a small to medium-sized bird belonging to the family Thamnophilidae, primarily found in the tropical forests of Central and South America. These birds are known for their distinctive plumage, which often features shades of brown, black, and white, helping them blend into their forest surroundings. Antbirds are typically insectivorous, feeding on ants and other small invertebrates, and they often follow army ant swarms to catch prey. Antbirds are characterized by their unique vocalizations, which include a variety of whistles and calls used for communication. They are generally solitary or found in pairs, and many species exhibit territorial behavior. Some notable genera within the family include Myrmeciza and Percnostola, each with various species adapted to different habitats within their range.
