Sure, I’d be happy to tell you more about Neodrepanis coruscans, commonly known as the Coppery-tailed Coua.

This bird species is known for its striking appearance, featuring a black head, neck, and upper breast, with a white lower breast and belly. It has a distinctive coppery-red tail and a bright blue eye-ring. They have a relatively short, curved bill and a long tail.

Coppery-tailed Couas are endemic to the forests of Madagascar, where they are typically found in the understory and mid-levels of the forest canopy. They feed on a diet of insects, fruits, and small animals, such as lizards and snails.

Coppery-tailed Couas are known for their vocalizations, which include a variety of calls and songs. They are usually solitary or found in pairs, and are known for their frequent sunbathing behavior.

Coppery-tailed Couas are not considered to be globally threatened at this time, although they are threatened by habitat loss and degradation due to deforestation and other human activities. Conservation efforts are needed to protect their populations and their forest habitat, including the establishment of protected areas and sustainable forest management practices. Coppery-tailed Couas are appreciated by birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts for their striking coloration and unique behaviors.
