Appert's Tetraka (Xanthomixis apperti)

Apperts tetraka is a sociable bird, often found in family groups of two to eight, and occasionally in multispecies flocks with the common tetraka (Bernieria madagascariensis) (2). It forages for small invertebrates at low levels, flitting between the branches of small shrubs and the dead leaves littering the forest floor (2) (5). Owing to its remote location, this species' reproductive biology remains unknown.
