| Black drongo (Dicrurus macrocercus) is a small Asian passerine bird of family Dicruridae. It is an all black bird with a distinctive forked tail feeding on insects and is common in open agricultural areas and light forests, perching conspicuously on a bare perches or along power or telephone lines. It is very aggressive towards much larger birds, never hesitating to dive-bomb any bird of prey that invades its territory. This behavior earns it the informal name of king crow. |
