Théoriquement, l'ordre des passériformes n’ a pas plus d’importance que la vingtaine d’autres de la classe des oiseaux, mais le nombre et la variété des espèces qui le composent(environ 5 000, soit la moitié des espèces connues) ainsi que le nombre des individus, lui assignent une place toute particulière dans la nature. 1, record 2, French, - passereaux
