A taxonomic family of tropical songbirds (formerly recognized), particularly those resembling tanagers and found in forested regions.
From Greek 'ampelos' (grapevine) plus '-idae' (a zoological suffix for families), possibly named because these birds are often found eating grapes or near grape-bearing plants.
The naming of bird families after plants they frequent or eat reveals how closely ornithologists watch bird behavior—the connection between 'Ampelidae' birds and grape vines was so notable it made it into the scientific name.
