There are three bird species in this family. They are all found in Australia.

The three species are sometimes identified as one species, the crested-shrike-tit, but the three species, while looking alike, are found in three distinct locations in Australia.

The northern shrike-tit (Falcunculus whitei), or White’s shrike-tit, is found in the Kimberley region of northwestern Australia and the top end of the Northern Territory

The Western shrike-tit (Falcunculus leucogaster), or white-bellied shrike-tit, is found in southwestern Western Australia

The Eastern shrike-tit (Falcunculus frontatus) is found in southeastern Australia.

Shrike-tits have strong, hooked beaks, which they use to tear bark off trees to find insects and spiders hiding underneath.

Shrike-tits have black and white markings. They live in forests and woodlands and are often so quiet that they can be hard to spot.
