Formicariidae is a family of birds commonly known as antbirds. They are primarily found in the tropical forests of Central and South America. These birds are known for their unique adaptations to their environment, including their ability to follow army ants to catch insects that are flushed out by the ants' movement. Antbirds are typically small to medium-sized and exhibit a variety of colors and patterns. They have strong legs and are often seen foraging on the forest floor. Their vocalizations are distinctive, and many species are known for their complex songs, which play a crucial role in communication and territory establishment.
