Mangrove Fantail

Rhipidura phasiana

The Mangrove Fantail, known scientifically as Rhipidura phasiana, is a charming avian species belonging to the Rhipiduridae family. This bird graces the Aru Islands and the coastal regions of southeastern New Guinea, as well as western and northern Australia with its presence.

Identification Tips

When endeavoring to identify the Mangrove Fantail, one should look for its distinctive fantail, which is a hallmark of the species. The bird's plumage and morphology are characteristic of its genus, Rhipidura.

Habitat

The Mangrove Fantail is aptly named, as it makes its home in subtropical or tropical mangrove forests. These unique ecosystems provide the bird with the necessary environment to thrive.

Distribution

This species is found in a relatively limited range, including the Aru Islands and the coastal areas of southeastern New Guinea. It is also a resident of northern and western Australia, where it frequents the mangrove habitats.

Conservation status

BirdLife International has assessed the Mangrove Fantail as being of Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. This suggests that, currently, there are no immediate threats to the population levels of this species that would warrant a higher level of concern.

The best bird logging app
Birda is honestly the best bird logging app I have seen. I love all the features it has from being able to do a session and log all the birds you see in one sitting, to being able to connect with other birders from all over the globe!

Easy to use and accurate
Love this app. It is easy to use and accurate, Their backup communication is really good. I noted a missing species. All through the process, I was kept informed about the progress in correcting the information. I now have the corrected, updated version. 😁 Thanks!

Great app for learning Birds
I’ve been using the app for a couple of months and love it....Someone said it’s like a real life Pokémon Go for birds. They’re not far off! It’s something that the family can do that gets you out and about. Well worth downloading no matter your age.
