At starting colics fly in a bux/ing manner, Happing their wings 

 frequently ; they sail afterwards quickly along with extended 

 wings, without any movements or strokes , but before perching 

 on a shrub, they flap their wings again in a violent manner. 

 They hide themselves in bushes or shrubs which are overgrown 

 with creepers.
