Appearance
Drongos are small birds with iridescent, glossy black or dark gray feathers. Their tails are distinctive, long and deeply forked. They have short legs, pointed wings, and hooked bills. Many species of drongo, including those shown in The Lion Guard, have crests atop their heads.

Information
Drongos belong to the family ''Dicruridae. ''They are skilled at mimicking different calls and other sounds. They use this ability to frighten animals away with alarm calls, not just those of their own species but also those of other animals, in order to eat their food, and obtain at least a fifth of their food using this method. Drongos are known for being aggressive birds, and will attack birds that are larger than themselves.

The Call of the Drongo
Tamaa the drongo appears throughout this episode. He is shown imitating predators to scare off animals and steal their food. He is later captured by hyenas, but escapes by mimicking the voice of the hyena leader Janja. After helping rescue a herd of impalas, he promises to use his talent of mimicry for good.
