[This species is resident and fairly common through the 

 thickly wooded parts of the country, living entirely on the 

 ground. Tt is a matter-of-fact little bird taking no notice of 

 anyone, busy with its own affairs, and will feed right up to 

 the feet of the observer if he will but remain quiet. — TV. F.~\
