Brubru

Nilaus afer

Least Concern

The Brubru is a bold African bushshrike relative that hunts insects and small vertebrates in thickets, woodland, or forest edge in African dry savannas and thornscrub. It is generally resident, using local forest, scrub, or woodland year-round and shifting within its range as food changes. Fun fact: this batch includes some of the most distinctive island lineages in the bird catalog, from toxic ifritas to display-rich birds-of-paradise.
