Birding Sepilok, Borneo (Part 2)

10,000 Birds

The associated bird species seek out drongos, apparently relying upon them heavily for protection. The drongo perches above the flock, snatching insects that they disturb, and keeping an eye out for predators that might go unnoticed by its hunting flock-mates. Drongos feed more effectively when in such flocks, so the benefits go both ways.
