Royal Flycatcher

The Royal Flycatcher is a striking bird found in Central and South America, known for its vibrant, fan-shaped crest of elongated feathers on its head. When threatened or displaying courtship behavior, it raises this crest to attract attention and communicate with other birds. With a slender body, long tail, and mainly brown and rufous plumage, it spends much of its time in dense forests, catching insects mid-air. Its vivid crest and agile movements make it easily recognizable, symbolizing the diversity and beauty of tropical rainforest birdlife.
