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.

A Friendly Place
I love using the bird app, I have a pretty good knowledge of birds. But I do have some gaps in it, so it’s nice to have a safe space to check on a sighting to confirm the species. It’s really enjoyable and I love the badges you can collect. It’s like a real life Pokémon go.
