See text The Indian paradise flycatcher (Terpsiphone paradisi) is a medium-sized passerine bird native to Asia, where it is widely distributed.

[2] Indian paradise flycatchers feed on insects, which they capture in the air often below a densely canopied tree.

The Indian paradise flycatcher was formally described in 1758 by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus in the tenth edition of his Systema Naturae under the binomial name Corvus paradisi.

[2] The Indian paradise flycatcher is a migratory bird and spends the winter season in tropical Asia.

[11] Being socially monogamous, both males and females take part in nest-building, incubation, brooding, and feeding of the young.

[13] The female lays up to four eggs in a neat cup nest made with twigs and spider webs on the end of a low branch.

[8] A case of interspecific feeding has been noted with paradise flycatcher chicks fed by Indian white-eyes.
