Like all Seychelles landbirds, the endangered magpierobin Copsychus seychellarum is not found anywhere else. The birds mainly seek their food in open leaf litter, but regenerating natural vegetation on their Fregate Island home was found to be depriving them of foraging sites. The provision of suitable areas for foraging has been important in helping magpie-robin numbers to recover.
