<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="artamidae"></dinofyi-dinosaur>†Artamidae (woodswallows, butcherbirds, and currawongs) are a family of passerine birds native primarily to Australasia and Southeast Asia. An extinct member from Australia represents the deep fossil history of this family. Mostly carnivorous to omnivorous, artamids include aerial insectivores (woodswallows), ambush predators (butcherbirds), and omnivorous forest birds (currawongs), tracing back to the Eocene radiation of songbirds.
Diet & Feeding
Artamidae was a meat-eating predator. Carnivorous dinosaurs were active hunters or scavengers, equipped with sharp teeth and claws for catching and consuming prey. They occupied the top of the food chain in their ecosystems.
