Spotted
The Sickle-billed Vanga is a distinctive Madagascan endemic, easily recognized by its exceptionally long, downward-curved black bill. This unique bill shape is perfectly adapted for probing into crevices and under bark for invertebrates.
Where to spot
Endemic to the dry deciduous forests and spiny bush of western and southern Madagascar.
How to spot
Look for its striking black and white plumage and prominent curved bill. Its noisy foraging groups are often easier to detect than solitary individuals. Scan dead trees and large branches for their probing activity.
When to spot
Active during daylight, particularly in the cooler parts of the morning and late afternoon.

Sickle-billed Vangas often forage in small, noisy groups, cooperatively prying open bark and searching for prey with their specialized bills.
