alasanon"The tanagers (sg. pron.: /ˈtænədʒər/) comprise the bird family Thraupidae, in the order Passeriformes. The family has an American distribution."
Stop talking. Stop reading that.
"Tanagers are small to medium-sized birds. The shortest-bodied species, the White-eared Conebill, is 9 cm (3.8 in) long and weighs 7 grams, barely smaller than the Short-billed Honeycreeper."
I can't handle it. Please, please, pleasepleaseplease stop. Your traveling accents on 'o' are beyond incomprehensible. All the facts in the world can't give you a basic 'w' that sounds clear. Stop talking.
"Tanagers are restricted to the New World and mainly to the tropics. About 60% of tanagers live in South America, and 30% of these species live in the Andes. Most species are endemic to a relatively small area."
Your 's' blurs and your 'm' screams. I hate your clicky 't' and solemn, pointless 'd'. Just end this at once, or I will begin howling, and once I have begun, I may never stop.
"Many tanagers are thought to have dull songs, though some are elaborate."
I will tell you something of dull songs. The dullest one I ever heard was in a bar, some five years ago. The man droned on about some country that was not his and a romantic war in which countless young men fought and died for the greater glory. I failed to see the point then, and I refuse to hear you out now.
"Most tanagers build cup nests on branches in trees. Some nests are almost globular. Entrances are usually built on the side of the nest. The nests can be shallow or deep."
You are the shallow end of this pool. If I jumped in, I think I'd break my ankles.
"Phylogenetic studies suggest the true tanagers form three main groups two of which consist of several smaller, well-supported clades."
You don't even know what that means. I've got to leave.
(what follows is a list of birds, grouped by genus.)
