Two Bronze Drongo nest was seen in May 2015 at Taman Negara. Both of them about 25-30 ft high on an exposed tree. Breeding season can starts as early as February until July. The nest is usually at the tail end of a horizontal twin branch. Usually the hatching is done by the female whilst the male will be closeby to protect the nest against intruders.
They are aggressive and fearless birds which they will attack any size birds which threatened
their nest. Some birds like flycatcher and smaller bird would built their nest nearby Drongo nesting to take advantage of their aggressive behaviour.
At one time we actually witnesse one of the Drongo reacted aggressively against a bulbul which wandered too close the nest and it was attacked by the Drongo. The bulbul lost a few feathers for its venture. A feather floated down onto my hand.
