Description General Info
Description
The frill-necked monarch measures around 14 cm (5.5 in) in length, and the neck feathers can become erect into a small frill; the male is predominantly black and white, and can be distinguished from the similar and more common pied monarch by its all-white breast-the latter species having a broad black breast band. The throat, nape, shoulders, and rump are white while the wings and head are black. It has an eye-ring of bare skin, and a bright blue wattle. The bill is pale blue-grey and the eyes are dark. The female is similar but has white lores and chin.

Feeding Habits
Frill-necked Monarch primarily consumes arthropods. Known for foraging alone or in pairs within the middle stratum and canopy, frill-necked Monarch utilizes distinctive flycatching and hover-gleaning techniques, often fanning its tail and spreading wings while navigating up trunks and limbs.
Habitat
The frill-necked Monarch typically inhabits primary forests, vine thickets, and riparian gallery forests. It is also known to reside at the edges of secondary growth areas and may occasionally explore adjacent eucalypt forests. These environments are characterized by dense vegetation and a structure that supports the species' arboreal lifestyle.
