well on the same dietary. My pair pass 

 much of their time on the ground under 

 the living shrubs in my aviary. When 

 loitering about in the open they quickly 

 fly under cover, whenever anyone approaches 

 the aviary. 



The colour of the bird is ashy-grey 

 throughout the whole upper body. Its 

 lower plumage is slaty grey, paler on the 

 chin and tending to become white on the 

 abdomen and vent. The female differs in 

 having an olive tinge on the upper body, 

 and a white chin and throat with their 

 sides streaked with black. It has yellow 

 bill and leo;s and is nine inches in leno^th.
