Ovenbirds or furnariids are a large family of small
The ovenbirds are a diverse group of insectivores which get their name from the elaborate, vaguely "oven-like" clay nests built by the horneros, although most other ovenbirds build stick nests or nest in tunnels or clefts in rock.[1] The Spanish word for "oven" (horno) gives the horneros their name. Furnariid nests are always constructed with a cover, and up to six pale blue, greenish or white eggs are laid. The eggs hatch after 15 to 22 days, and the young fledge after a further 13 to 20 days.[2]
They are small to medium-sized birds, ranging from 9 to 35 cm in length.
Taxonomy and systematics
The
The cladogram below showing the subfamilies of the ovenbirds is based on a molecular genetic studies that revealed that Sclerurinae was the first group to diverge[5][6] The species numbers are from the list maintained by the International Ornithologists' Union (IOC).[7]

The phylogeny of the Furnariidae is now well understood thanks to multiple analyses of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA.[8][9][10][11][12] Among other discoveries, the classification of several genera had to be revised.[13][14][15] The taxonomic arrangement presented below is based on molecular genetic studies of ovenbird relationships.[4][16][17][12] However, because ovenbirds and woodcreepers are treated here as a single family some taxonomic ranks were modified.

In 2009, the large ovenbird family was divided into tribes by Robert Moyle and collaborators. The tribes as defined in the 2009 article do not fit well with the revised taxonomy of Harvey and are not included here. For example, the tribe Furnariini as defined in the 2009 article is not monophyletic in the Harvey phylogeny.[4] The species numbers in the cladogram are from the list maintained by the International Ornithologists' Union (IOC).[7]

Fossil Record
Furnariids boast a notable fossil for a passerine family. Numerous fossils comprising multiple skeletal elements, including cranial remains, have facilitated the identification and description of five distinct fossil species. Among these, two have been classified within the extant genera
- †Pseudoseisuropsis nehuen Noriega 1991, early Pleistocene of Argentina.[28]
- †Pseudoseisuropsis cuelloi Claramunt & Rinderknecht 2005, late Pleistocene of Uruguay.[29]
- †Pseudoseisuropsis wintu Stefanini et al. 2016, Early Pleistocene of Argentina.[30]
- †Cinclodes major Toni 1977, Pleistocene of Argentina.[31]
- †Pseudoseisura cursor Toni & Noriega, 2001, Pleistocene of Argentina.[32]
