Curious that I thought this was a sort of common thing, maybe not. Sometimes it is hard to know what is typical, when impressions largely depend on what people think is worth reporting. Not that I have seen them take a bird but I haven’t lived in places where they are common for long (4 years and many visits in Brisbane). HANZAB has a small list of bird prey for the Drongo: Vol 7A page 254-255. They have a very wide diet.
