Long-tailed Minivet

[birdstudies]

November 28, 2023 - Orange Minivet (Pericrocotus flammeus) Found in parts of western and southern India and much of Sri Lanka, these minivets live in forests. Foraging mainly in the canopy and often joining mixed-species flocks, they mostly eat insects, as well as spiders, often capturing prey in short flights or while hovering. They build small open cup-shaped nests from lichen, spiderwebs, and bark in trees. Females incubate the clutches of two or three eggs alone but both parents feed the chicks.
