The name fits its character

The Pied Fantail malay name (Murai Gila) fits its character perfectly, a very skittish bird, jumping around the branches with its tail fanning out..


Murai Gila(Malay)
Pied Fantail
Rhipidura Javanica

Murai in malay basically describe a blackish bird with a beautiful voice and Gila means mad.


showing its fantail, albeit a little blurred.

normally I found it stays under shady trees, overgrown bushes near water.

    The 2nd pic really shows the 'fan' at the tail.
