The crow-billed drongo is a completely jet-black bird with a stout bill and a shallowly forked tail, similar in appearance to the black drongo. It is native to the moist tropical forests of south-eastern Asia, from India to the Philippines and Indonesia, including Bangladesh, Bhutan, China and Nepal (Wikipedia, general species account).
It breeds between April and June. Both birds build the cup-shaped nest, a small cup of grass held together by cobwebs in the fork of a slender branch, and the female incubates the eggs. It eats insects and other small animals. The source read gives no size or clutch detail, so none is stated.
