The Manus Cicadabird is another island endemic cuckooshrike, found exclusively on Manus Island. It's a rather plain-looking bird, often difficult to spot in the dense forest where it lives.
Where to spot
Endemic to Manus Island (part of the Admiralty Islands group, Papua New Guinea). It prefers lowland forests and forest edges. Look for it in the mid to upper canopy.
How to spot
Focus on the forest canopy and mid-story. Its plain plumage helps it blend in, so listen for its typical cicadabird calls which can be a key indicator of its presence. Binoculars are essential for clear views.
When to spot
Present year-round within its tropical island habitat. Best observed during periods of higher activity, such as early mornings when they are actively foraging.

Endemic species like the Manus Cicadabird are particularly vulnerable to habitat loss and environmental changes due to their restricted geographical range.
