Passeridae sunt familia parvarum avium ordinis Passeriformium. Distinctae a Passerellidis Americanis sunt. Multae species in aedificiis nidificant, ac potissimum multitudines passerorum domesticorum et montanorum in urbibus habitant, unde passeridae inter familiarissimas omnium avium ferarum sunt. Plerumque seminibus vescuntur, sed parva insecta etiam consumunt. Nonnullae species alimentum in circumiectis urbanis petunt, ac laridarum columbarumque similes, parvas multarum rerum quantitates avide edunt.

Descriptio

Passeridae plerumque sunt aves parvae, pingues, brunneae, canae, quibus sunt caudae breves et rostra truncata et valida. Variationes inter species subtiles esse possunt. Species magnitudine variant a Passero eminibey, circa 11.4 centimetra longa et 13.4 grammata ponderis, ad Passerum gongonensem, circa 18 centimetra et 42 grammata. Corpora passeridarum corporum aliarum avium quae seminibus vescuntur similia sunt, sicut fringillidarum, sed exteriorem pinnam primariam dorsalem et os additum in lingua habent, quod os, preglossale nominatum, linguam rigidam facit cum semina teneat. Aliae accommodationes ad semina consumenda sunt rostra praecipue formata et canales alimentarii praelongi.

Species

Familiae sunt quadraginta tres species in octo genera digestae.
