Definition: Aradidae refers to a family of small, low-winged birds, primarily found in central Asia. They are characterized by their small size compared to larger birds, often being about 10-25 grams (3-9/16 ounces) in weight. The specific Aradidae name, "Arada", was derived from the Greek words "arad" meaning "small" and "deida" meaning "bird". This term is used to denote a small bird with a smaller size than an adult bird.
