Black butcherbird Favouring dense mangroves and the outskirts of coastal rainforests, the black butcherbird can be found along the edges of the north-eastern parts of Australia and throughout much of Papua New Guinea. While it does eat some fruit, it is primarily an ambush hunter that feeds mostly on small snakes, lizards, frogs, crabs, fish and small mammals and birds. Preferring the mid to lower canopy to hunt, in the mangroves these birds will forage on lower branches and even among the tangle of prop-roots in search of a meal. The black butcherbird is a warbler like its close cousin, the magpie. Males and female engage in duets early in the breeding season. Show more
