The yellow-billed shrike (Corvinella corvina) is a small passerine bird in the shrike family. It is sometimes known as the long-tailed shrike but this is to be discouraged since it invites confusion with the long-tailed shrike, Lanius schach, of tropical southern Asia. The yellow-billed shrike is a common resident breeding bird in tropical Africa from Senegal east to Uganda and locally in westernmost Kenya. It frequents forest and other habitats with trees. The yellow-billed shrike feeds on insects which it locates from prominent look-out perches in trees, wires or posts.
