Broad-billed Fantail

Rhipidura euryura

The Broad-billed Fantail is a small passerine bird found in the forests and woodlands of Australia and New Guinea. It is known for its distinctive fan-shaped tail and agile, acrobatic flight. The bird has a striking black and white plumage with a broad bill, and it is often seen darting through the foliage in search of insects. Broad-billed Fantails are known for their melodious and varied songs, which they use to communicate and establish territories. They are generally non-migratory and form monogamous pairs during the breeding season. Despite being relatively common, habitat loss and fragmentation pose threats to their populations.
