Now here is one of the 12 endemic birds of Palau called the Charmelachull-Palau Flycatcher. The Palau Flycatcher is only found in Palau and nowhere else in the world. When it sings it is an indication of coming rain. It also likes to sing in the rain while fluttering its wings. It likes to eat spiders and other insects. Its role in nature is to control insect population.
Thank you for watching this outreach to raise awareness of the importance of biodiversity of Palau and Micronesia.
