About These Birds
Appert's Tetraka
Appert's Tetraka is a vulnerable small bird endemic to a restricted area of southwestern Madagascar, weighing about 14 grams with a wingspan near 12 cm. It inhabits dense dry deciduous forest understory, foraging for insects among leaf litter and low vegetation. Continued deforestation in its limited range makes this species particularly susceptible to decline.
