Etymology

The term 'Icteridae' is derived from the Latin word 'icterus', which refers to the condition of jaundice, as well as being used in the naming of certain birds. The family name was first introduced in the 19th century as ornithologists sought to classify various species of birds based on shared characteristics. The classification has evolved over time with advances in genetic and ecological studies, leading to a better understanding of the relationships between different bird families. Icteridae encompasses a diverse group of birds, known for their social behavior and adaptability, which includes many species that are commonly found in both urban and rural environments. This rich history highlights the importance of ongoing research in the field of ornithology.
