Feeding Habits
Wallacean Drongo primarily consumes insects, captured through sallying from branches. Typically forages alone or in pairs, sometimes in groups near flowering trees or macaques. It shows no association with mixed-species flocks while foraging.
Habitat
The wallacean Drongo typically resides in humid forests and a range of wooded environments. They favor habitats ranging from undisturbed primary forests to mangroves and altered landscapes. These birds are also found in semi-evergreen forest fringes and secondary woodlands, as well as in more open areas such as savannas and agricultural fields. Additionally, wallacean Drongo populates areas alongside roads where large trees are present, or nearby plantations.

Species Status
The Wallacean drongo has a very large range and does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion. Its extent of occurrence is greater than 20,000 km. The population trend is not known but it is not believed to be declining sufficiently rapidly, and the population size is believed to be large enough for it to not qualify as Vulnerable using the population size criterion. For these reasons the species is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN.
