'''Perninae''' is a subfamily of medium-sized, broad-winged [[bird of prey|birds of prey]], and collectively known as "honey-buzzards" due to several species being specialist feeders of bee and wasp larvae.
==Species==
The taxonomy is somewhat inexact, with proposals for changes in classification as late as 2018<ref>http://checklist.aou.org/assets/proposals/PDF/2018-C-amended.pdf</ref>. At one time authorities placed the [[swallow-tailed kite]] (''Elanoides forficatus'') within the subfamily [[Milvinae]]. Several authorities consider the three [[vulture]] species of the subfamily [[Gypaetinae]] to be a part of Perninae<ref>http://www-personal.umich.edu/~hlerner/LM2005.pdf</ref>.
