A mythical creature native to The Pilbara region of Western Australia.

They bring music and fun but are mischievous in nature... They live primarily on honey. There is the belief that Drongos are invisible to bad people and are only visible to the good and true of heart that respect the land and listen to the old people.

Drongo Juice 

Gold coloured super-powered beverage like lager or ale that grants Drongos their super powers, making them last far longer than they should’ve. Super powers include missing trains, flights or making friends wait in taxis or car pools. Other experiences include losing keys, wallets, phones or girlfriends, with usually an awkward story that accompanies it.
Bloke 1: “Mate, have you seen me keys? I think I may have left them... somewhere...”
Bloke 2: “No worries, I’ll get you another Drongo Juice and you’ll be fine out on my couch.”
