These are all black birds with distinctive forked tails that feed on insects, and are common in open agricultural areas and light forest throughout their range, perching conspicuously on a bare perches or along power or telephone lines. Feisty fellows as they are known for their aggressive behaviour towards much larger birds, such as crows, never hesitating to dive-bomb any bird of prey that invades their territory. They are known to imitate the call of others birds.
