The Pipridae family contains the manakins which are found in the American tropics. They are not related to the similarly named birds, mannikins (derived from the Dutch for 'little man'). Manakins eat fruit, berries, and some insects. They can obtain fruit while flying, and thus perhaps evolved from insect eaterss and are related to the Tyrannidiae flycatchers. Other relatives of the manakins are found in the Cotingidae family.
