Boyer's cuckooshrike

Coracina boyeri

Boyer's cuckooshrike is a small to medium-sized bird found in the forests and woodlands of New Guinea and nearby islands. It has a distinctive black head, white underparts, and a grayish-black back. The male has a striking blue eye-ring, while the female has a more subdued coloration. This species is known for its melodious and varied calls, often heard during the breeding season. Boyer's cuckooshrike is an insectivorous bird, foraging for insects and small invertebrates in the dense foliage of the forest canopy. While not currently considered threatened, habitat loss and deforestation are potential future concerns for this species.
