Parulas are small songbirds belonging to the family Parulidae, commonly known as wood-warblers. They are primarily found in North America, especially in wooded areas and near water sources. Parulas are known for their vibrant plumage, which often features shades of blue, green, and yellow, making them a favorite among birdwatchers. These birds are insectivorous, feeding mainly on insects and spiders, which they find in foliage. The Northern Parula is one of the most recognized species, known for its distinctive song and breeding habits. Parulas migrate seasonally, traveling between their breeding grounds in the northern U.S. and wintering areas in Central America.
