Long-tailed Silky Flycatcher

The habitat of this bird is mountain forests, where the breeding pair builds a neat cup of lichen 2–18 m high in a tree, sometimes in loose colonies. The female lays two brown and lilac-blotched grey eggs, which are incubated by both adults. The young fledge 18–25 days after hatching, and are fed by both parents.

The Long-tailed Silky Flycatcher is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.
