'''Honeybirds''' are [[bird]]s in the genus ''Prodotiscus'' of the [[honeyguide]] family. They are confined to [[sub-Saharan Africa]].

{{WikiProject Montana|class=start}}

They are all drab coloured birds, with grey or grey-green upperparts, and grey to whitish-grey underparts. They are among the smallest members of the honeyguide family. They have slender bills compared to other members of the family.

----

Unlike other honeyguides they do not feed on [[beeswax]].

They parasitise nests of [[cisticola]]s, [[sunbird]]s and other dome-nesting bird species.

There are three species:

* [[Brown-backed Honeybird]] ''Prodotiscus regulus''

* [[Green-backed Honeybird]] ''Prodotsicus zambesiae''

* [[Cassin's Honeybird]] ''Prodotiscus insignis''
