The fork-tailed drongo is a medium-sized bird found primarily in Africa and parts of Asia. It is easily recognizable by its glossy black plumage and distinctive forked tail, which can be quite long. These birds are known for their intelligence and adaptability, often seen in open habitats like savannas and grasslands. Fork-tailed drongos are skilled mimics, capable of imitating the calls of other bird species and even some mammals. They primarily feed on insects and small vertebrates, using their agility to catch prey in mid-air. Their behavior includes aggressive territorial displays, especially during breeding season.
