General
Information is based on dictionaries and other sources. Pinyin readings reflect standard Mandarin usage; for some dialect alternative names it may be of little practical use, especially for South China. Many Korean glosses are highly tentative. Comments and corrections welcome.
This group of birds is found in the south of China, although the Fire-breasted Flowerpecker is found as far north as Shaanxi and Gansu. They are officially known as 啄花鸟 'peck-flower bird'.
