Lizard impaled on thorns by Southern Grey Shrike Lanius meridionalis, Lanzarote
Most shrike species occur in Eurasia and Africa, but two breed in North America. There are no members of this family in South America or Australia.
Some shrikes are also known as "butcher birds" because of their habit of keeping corpses. Australasian butcherbirds are not shrikes, although they occupy a similar ecological niche. Several African species are known as fiscals, derived from the Afrikaans term for the hangman, fiskaal.
