About These Birds

Azure-crested Flycatcher

The Azure-crested Flycatcher is a Near Threatened monarch flycatcher found on Fiji, weighing about 12.75g with a wingspan of 15.6cm. It inhabits forest and forest edges and is distinguished by its azure-blue crown. It forages for insects by making short aerial sallies from exposed perches.

Biak Monarch

The Biak Monarch is a near-threatened monarch flycatcher endemic to Biak and Numfoor islands in West Papua, Indonesia. It has black and white plumage typical of monarchs, with the male showing glossy blue-black upperparts. It inhabits forest and forest edges, and its restricted island range makes it vulnerable to habitat disturbance.
