This native bird is a common sight throughout the nation's bush. There are about 40 different species. All have a big tail that is able to fan out in common. The tail is where they got their name from. The fan like tail is not only for decoration. It helps the bird to turn sharply when hunting its prey with precision and speed.
Their diet consists of small insects and invertebrates. The bird has two forms of hunting one is to sit and wait for insects to fly by and then fly after them. Once their hunt had been successful the prey is returned to its perch for consumption. Another way is for the bird to be walking along the vegetation looking for its prey.
The nesting birds share the role of looking after the young ones and nest building. The nests are made with grass stems held together with spider silk. A ten day creation phase lets the nesting couple finish a nest in a cup like shape, ready for the breeding period.
