Western Boubou

Laniarius poensis

Least Concern

The Western Boubou is a bold African bushshrike relative that hunts insects and small vertebrates in thickets, woodland, or forest edge in Cameroon highlands. 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.
