Which family of garden birds has the Latin name Paridae?
"Tit (bird) The tits, chickadees, and titmice constitute the Paridae, a large family of small passerine birds which occur mainly in the Northern Hemisphere and Africa. Most were formerly classified in the genus ""Parus"". While commonly referred to as ""tits"" throughout much of the English-speaking world, these birds are called either ""chickadees"" (onomatopoeic, derived from their distinctive ""chick-a dee dee dee"" alarm call) or ""titmice"" in North America. The name titmouse is recorded from the 14th century, composed of the Old English name for the bird, ""mase"" (Proto-Germanic ""*maison"", German ""Meise""), and tit, denoting something small. The former spelling, ""titmose"","
"Parotia The parotias are a genus, Parotia, of passerine birds in the bird-of-paradise family Paradisaeidae. They are found on New Guinea, to which they are endemic. They are also known as six-plumed birds of paradise, due to their six head quills. These birds were featured prominently in the BBC series ""Planet Earth"". The males of the genus are characterized by an ornamental plumage consisting of six wired head plumes with black oval-shaped tips, a neck collar of black, decomposed feathers which can be spread into a skirt-like shape, and bright or iridescent head and throat markings. During courtship, they perform"

Recently, the large ""Parus"" group has been gradually split into several genera (as indicated below), initially by North American ornithological authorities and later elsewhere. Whereas in the mid-1990s, only ""Pseudopodoces"", ""Baeolophus"", ""Melanochlora"", and ""Sylviparus"" were considered well-supported by the available data as distinct from ""Parus"". Today, this arrangement is considered paraphyletic as indicated by mtDNA cytochrome ""b"" sequence analysis, and ""Parus"" is best restricted to the ""Parus major""—""Parus fasciiventer"" clade, and even the latter species' closest relatives might be considered a distinct genus. In the Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy, the family Paridae"
"Poecile Poecile is a genus of birds in the tit family Paridae. It contains 15 species, which are scattered across North America, Europe and Asia; the North American species are the chickadees. In the past, most authorities retained ""Poecile"" as a subgenus within the genus ""Parus"", but treatment as a distinct genus, initiated by the American Ornithologists Union, is now widely accepted. This is supported by mtDNA cytochrome b sequence analysis. The genus ""Poecile"" was erected by the German naturalist Johann Jakob Kaup in 1829. The type species was subsequently designated as the marsh tit. The name ""Poecile"" is from"
"Perdix Perdix is a genus of Galliform gamebirds known collectively as the 'true partridges'. The genus name is the Latin for ""partridge"", and is itself derived from Ancient Greek ""‘πέρδιξ’ (pérdīx)"". These birds are unrelated to the subtropical species that have been named after the partridge due to similar size and morphology. There are representatives of Perdix in most of temperate Europe and Asia. One member of the genus, the grey partridge, has been introduced to the United States and Canada for the purpose of hunting. They are closely related to grouse, koklass, quail and pheasants. These are non-migratory birds"
"Alexandrine parakeet The Alexandrine parakeet (""Psittacula eupatria""), also known as the Alexandrine parrot, is a medium-sized parrot in the genus Psittacula of the family Psittacidae. It is named after Alexander the Great, who transported numerous birds from Punjab to various European and Mediterranean countries and regions, where they were prized by the royalty, nobility and warlords. The Alexandrine parakeet has established feral populations in Spain, England, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Iran, Hong Kong, and Japan, where it lives alongside feral populations of its close relative, the rose-ringed parakeet (""Psittacula krameri"").
