The kinglets or crests are a small group of birds often included in the Old World warblers, but frequently given family status because they also resemble the titmice. The scientific name Regulidae comes from the Latin word regulus for "petty king" or prince. They have representatives in North America and Eurasia. There are now seven species in this family. Madeira Firecrest, Regulus madeirensis recently split from Firecrest as a separate species. The scientific and English names come from the fact that the adults have coloured crowns.
All members of the family are 9-15.5 cm. These birds have an eye-ring or a stripe at the supercilium. The males possess a colorful crown patch. They have one specific feather which projects forward over the nares.

Scientific classification or biological classification is a method by which biologists group and categorize species of organisms. Scientific classification also can be called scientific taxonomy, but should be distinguished from folk taxonomy, which lacks scientific basis.
