The painted berrypecker family is a small family of colorful birds found only on the island of New Guinea. There are three species: the Tit Berrypecker (Oreocharis arfaki), Eastern Crested Berrypecker (Paramythia montium), and Western Crested Berrypecker (Paramythia olivacea).

Painted berrypeckers live mainly in mountain forests, especially cool, wet forests where trees are covered with moss. The Crested Berrypeckers can also live in high-elevation forests and shrublands where the trees are short and twisted. Most live at high elevations in the mountains of New Guinea, although the Tit Berrypecker can sometimes be found at lower elevations.

These birds spend much of their time in trees searching for food. They eat mostly fruits and berries. They may also eat flowers and small insects. Painted berrypeckers often search for food in pairs or small groups.

Painted berrypeckers are small to medium-sized birds. The Tit Berrypecker is about 4.7–5.5 inches (12.0–14.0 cm) long. The larger Crested Berrypeckers are about 7.5–9 inches (19.0–22.0 cm) long. They have rounded wings, short, strong bills, and colorful feathers in shades of green, blue, and yellow. The Crested Berrypeckers have a noticeable crest of feathers on their heads.
