A Racket-tailed Treepie (Crypsirina temia) drinking from a forest pool in Kaeng Krachan National Park in Western Thailand
A Racket-tailed Treepie drinks from a forest pool in Kaeng Krachan National Park in Petchburi Province in Western Thailand. This species occurs in southern Burma (Myanmar), Thailand, Indo-China, Sumatra, Java and Bali in scrub and secondary growth, open fields and gardens, bamboo thickets and open forest often near villages. It almost always feeds in trees (arboreal) never feeding from the ground, though coming down to bathe on occasions. It moves through the trees with great agility and uses its remarkable tail as a balancing organ. It eats mainly insects and fruit.
