They are small birds, measuring 9 to 14 cm (3.5–5.5 in) in length, including the relatively long tail, and weighing just 4.5 to 9 g (0.16–0.32 oz). Their plumage is typically dull grey or brown, although some species have white markings and the long-tailed tit has some pinkish colour. [ 2 ]

Parakeets comprise about 115 species of birds that are seed-eating parrots of small size, slender build, and long, tapering tails. [citation needed] The Australian budgerigar, also known as "budgie", Melopsittacus undulatus, is probably the most common parakeet. It was first described by zoologists in 1891.
As a caged bird, cockatiels are second in popularity only to the budgerigar. [9] The cockatiel is the only member of the genus Nymphicus. It was previously unclear whether the cockatiel is a crested parakeet or small cockatoo; however, more recent molecular studies have assigned it to its own subfamily, Nymphicinae.
Woodpeckers are small to medium-sized birds with chisel-like beaks, short legs, stiff tails and long tongues used for capturing insects. Some species have feet with two toes pointing forward and two backward, while several species have only three toes. Many woodpeckers have the habit of tapping noisily on tree trunks with their beaks.
The longest species in the family is the white-necked myna (Streptocitta albicollis), which can measure up to 50 cm (19 + 1 ⁄ 2 in), although around 60% in this magpie-like species is comprised by its very long tail. [4] Less sexual dimorphism is seen in plumage, but with only 25 species showing such differences between the two sexes.
