Babbler
From Free net encyclopedia
Babbler can refer to bird species that belong to either of two unrelated families.
- The Old World babblers in the family Timaliidae
- The Australo-Papuan pseudo-babblers in the family Pomatostomidae.
Prior to the development of modern molecular research methods (notably DNA-DNA hybridisation) the members of the Pomatostomidae were included in the Timaliidae.
Babbler may also refer to a person who talks excessively, usually about inane topics.
