The tanagers comprise the bird family Thraupidae, the second largest family of birds (after flycatchers) with currently around 240 species, and represents about 4% of all avian species and 12% of the Neotropical birds. It is likely that modern analysis may move some of these birds into other groups. The family can be seen across the Americas - some 60% live in South America.
