About These Birds
Black Fantail
The Black Fantail is a small, entirely jet-black fantail that enthusiastically fans its long tail while foraging. It inhabits montane rainforests of New Guinea, typically at elevations from 1,200 to 2,800 meters, where it is found in forest interior and dense undergrowth. It feeds on insects, catching them by sallying from perches or gleaning from foliage, often in mixed-species bird flocks.
Biak Fantail
The Biak Fantail is a small, active flycatcher endemic to Biak Island in Cenderawasih Bay, West Papua, Indonesia. It has brown and white plumage typical of fantails and fans its long tail continuously while foraging. It inhabits forest undergrowth and edges, catching insects in flight and by gleaning foliage.
