The purpose of this thread is to list as many known holders of species in the families Icteridae, Icteriidae,and Parulidae as possible. The drill is the same as the last few threads — All corrections, additions, and suggestions are expected and appreciated. As more of the passerine families are covered, it’s exciting that a wide array of these birds will have a clear, straightforward list of where they’re found 
! No information older than 2019 was used for this list.
Before starting, I would like to give a thank you to @Great Argus, as he was able to fill me in on many of these holders that I would’ve struggled to find otherwise! So technically this thread is a collaborative effort
.
In terms of holders, Akron and Smithsonian dominate here — But that’s expected, given their exceptional aviaries and bird houses with a wide variety of native birds.
