Improved to Good Article status by The Blue Rider (talk). Self-nominated at 12:29, 15 March 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Fork-tailed drongo; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

The Blue Rider, before I give a full review, I'm looking for hooks for April Fools' Day and think this article has a good chance: perhaps something similar to ALT0 with "can lie to steal food"? I cannot propose hooks as the reviewer, but if you're up for it it'd be a great addition to the April Fools' set! MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 18:32, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
