The Pomatostomidae or Australo-Papuan babblers are small to medium-sized birds endemic to Australia-New Guinea.
Babblers live in family groups and small flocks of up to about 20 individuals and forage communally, calling loudly to one another all day long.
For many years, the Australo-Papuan babblers were classified, rather uncertainly, with the Old World babblers (Timaliidae), on the grounds of similar appearance and habits.
