The family Saxicolidae, commonly known as rock-dwelling birds, includes species that primarily inhabit rocky environments. These birds are often found in mountainous regions, cliffs, and boulder fields, where they use their camouflage to blend in with their surroundings. Their diet typically consists of insects and other small invertebrates found in these habitats. Members of the Saxicolidae family are known for their distinctive songs and calls, which they use for communication and territory defense. Some well-known species within this family include the stonechat and the wheatear. These birds are characterized by their robust bodies and strong legs, which help them navigate rocky terrains effectively.
