Spangled drongo
The spangled drongo is a mimic and a maker of most peculiar sounds with distinctive fish-tail feathers.
The playful title of this design, spangle me drongo is a take on the old Australian (‘Strine) slang term ‘strike me pink’, which means to be taken by surprise. ‘Drongo’ is another old ’Strine expression, referring to a fool. This useage came about because of an Australian racehorse called ‘Drongo’ (named after the bird) who never won a single race despite his fine pedigree and masterful rider. The name ‘drongo’ originally comes from the indigenous language of Madagascar, and belongs to a local species of drongo.
