They are now considered the largest family of birds on earth, with around 400 species. As could be expected from a family this large, the members vary greatly both in shape, patterns and colours. Most, but not all, are rather plain, and many have erectile crests. As the name implies, most are insectivorous, but some will eat fruit or small vertebrates (e.g. small frogs).
