The Indian paradise flycatcher is a bird species found in the Indian subcontinent and parts of Southeast Asia. It is a medium-sized bird with a long tail, a white body, and a black head and neck in males. Females have a brownish coloration.
The Indian paradise flycatcher is typically found in forested areas and feeds on a variety of insects, which it catches in mid-air. It is known for its beautiful and distinctive courtship display, in which the male displays his long tail feathers to attract a female.
Although the Indian paradise flycatcher is not considered to be endangered, habitat loss and degradation due to deforestation and human activities are potential threats to its populations in some areas. Conservation efforts, such as protecting natural habitats and regulating logging and other human activities, are important for the long-term survival of this species.
