The family with the most limited distribution is the Rhynochetidae, which contains only one species, the kagu (Rhynochetus jubatus), a gray, crested bird the size of a large chicken, found only on the Pacific island of New Caledonia.
Only one family, the leafbirds (Chloropseidae), is restricted to Asia (including adjacent islands to the south and east).
No bird families are unique to Europe or to North America, although the turkeys (two species of temperate and tropical North America) are often given their own family, Meleagrididae, instead of being considered a subdivision of the pheasant family (Phasianidae).

 Fairy Bluebird page
Traditionally considered related to the bulbuls (Pycnonotidae) but having some characters of drongos (Dicruridae) or cuckoo-shrikes (Campepahagidae; Austin and Singer 1961), biochemical studies suggested closer relationships to bushshrikes, helmetshrikes and vangas within Sibley and Alquist's (1990) great expanded corvine assemblage.
Sibley and Monroe (1990) placed then next to cuckoo-shrikes but also included the six species of leafbirds (genus Chloropsis) in the family Irenidae (which name then takes precedence over Chloropseidae) and that approach was followed by Clements (1991).
Whatever their taxonomic level it is clear that Fairy-Bluebirds are closely related to leafbirds.

 ORNITHOLOGICAL LITERATURE
It was therefore of great interest to me to see Wetmore's recent and highly plausible suggestion (1960.
Coll., 139, no. 11:19) that Irena should be placed in the Oriolidae, leaving 4egithina and Chloropsis as the family Chloropseidae.
Again as done in my review of Vaurie's check-list, I propose to indicate here, for the benefit of interested readers of the Wilson Bulletin, the differences (other than mere differences of sequence) in taxonomic treatments of the A.O.U. Check-list and the new Peters volume.

 Birdwatching Notes: Introduction to the common iora
The ornithological name for the Common Iora is the Aegethina Tiphia and it comes into the grouping known as fairy bluebirds.
Some experts, however, prefer to place the fairy bluebirds with the Old World Orioles and to place the leaf birds and the ioras in the family Chloropseidae.
Still others place all of these birds in the Bulbul family.
