About These Birds
Arafura Fantail
The Arafura Fantail is a small, active passerine from the Arafura region of northern Australia and nearby islands, weighing about 8.6 grams with a wingspan near 14 cm. Like other fantails, it fans its tail conspicuously while hawking insects in forest understory and woodland margins. Its restless, acrobatic foraging behavior makes it a lively presence in lowland habitats.
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.
