Description
The striped bird in Indonesia we call burung Kepasan Belang ( fan bird) is a bird with the Latin name Rhipidura javanica and belongs to a type of chirping bird with a moderate body posture.
The distribution of Striped Kipasan bird only lives in several ASEAN countries - such as Myanmar, Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, and also in Indonesia. The existence of such birds with their long tails in Indonesian territory can be quite broad, including Sumatra, Java, Bali, Kalimantan, Lombok, and eastern Indonesia, including Papua. In its natural habitat, this bird generally inhabits open forest areas, mangrove forests, and secondary forests and populates the yard near community settlements. Also, when hunting small insects for food, this bird generally moves on its own. Sometimes, they are even in pairs and sometimes mixed with other bird species. Breeding often occurs from March to June, depending on the region. The fan bird's nest is shaped like a cup. Then, the essential ingredients are taken from excellent, dry plants mixed with spider webs using rodents. A unique characteristic of the Kipasan Belang bird in terms of its chirping is that it is quite tunable with a rhythmic tone up and down. The volume of the chirp was also quite high and sounded a little shrill with a very close chirp tempo. The height and even the amount of the song of Kipasan Belang adjusted to its quite aggressive character.
Bahasa Indonesia

Sebaran burung Kipasan Belang hanya hidup di beberapa negara ASEAN – seperti Myanmar, Vietnam, Malaysia, Filipina, dan juga di Indonesia. Keberadaan burung berekor panjang ini cukup luas penyebarannya di wilayah Indonesia, antara lain Sumatera, Jawa, Bali, Kalimantan, Lombok, dan Indonesia bagian timur, termasuk Papua. Pada habitat aslinya, burung ini umumnya mendiami kawasan hutan terbuka, hutan bakau, dan hutan sekunder serta menghuni pekarangan dekat pemukiman masyarakat. Selain itu, saat berburu serangga kecil untuk dimakan, pada umumnya burung ini juga bergerak sendiri. Kadang-kadang bahkan berpasangan dan kadang bercampur dengan jenis burung lain. Perkembangbiakan sering terjadi pada bulan Maret hingga Juni, tergantung wilayah tempat mereka tinggal. Sarang burung kipas berbentuk seperti cangkir. Kemudian bahan dasarnya diambil dari tanaman unggul kering yang dicampur dengan jaring laba-laba menggunakan hewan pengerat. Ciri khas burung Kipasan Belang dari segi kicauannya adalah cukup merdu dengan ritme nada yang naik turun. Volume kicauannya juga cukup tinggi dan terdengar sedikit melengking dengan tempo kicauan yang sangat dekat. Tinggi dan jumlah lagu Kipasan Belang disesuaikan dengan karakternya yang cukup agresif.

Your bird paintings are amazing! I love the color of this painting. Spot on! :o) Adding to my favorites
Jason Sentuf replied:
Hi, Rene'. As you know, this birds species are usually not alone but always in pairs (male and female). In recent weeks, they were playing and chirping on the mango tree in front of our home yard. Now, I'm preparing my canon camera to capture them if they reappear this morning. I am really flattered by your comment and thank you for following. Happy Painting!
