Red-shouldered Vanga occur in subarid thorn scrub in the south-west. Behaviour - Their diet can include insects, earthworms, millipedes, lizards and amphibians. The Blue Vanga and Chabert's Vanga occasionally eat fruit. Many species feed in small groups, often in mixed-species foraging flocks. The Hook-billed Vanga and Lafresnaye's Vanga tend to forage alone. Vangas have a variety of different foraging strategies. Many species glean food as they move through the branches. More
