WHAT DOES WHIPBIRD MEAN IN ENGLISH?

whipbird

Cinclosomatidae

Cinclosomatidae is a family of passerine birds native to Australia and nearby areas. It has a complicated taxonomic history and different authors vary in which birds they include in the family. It includes at least the quail-thrushes, 5 species of ground-dwelling birds found in Australia and New Guinea. The jewel-babblers, 4 species found in rainforest in New Guinea, also seem to belong in this family. The whipbirds and wedgebills are often included in which case the name Psophodidae has priority as the name of the family. The Malaysian Rail-babbler was formerly sometimes placed in this family which would then be called Eupetidae.
