forest to feed. In the neighbourhood of Bham6 they may be found at these times 

 on some strip of well-watered paddy land, a little way into the forest to the 

 south-east of the town. Before sun-rise, I have observed them on the high trees, 

 feathering themselves and waking the forest with their call. They are very wary, 

 and when disturbed, they do not, as a rule, fly far, but make for some lofty tree 

 close at hand.

As stated by Blyth, the Indian birds are slightly paler than those from Assam 

 and the countries to the south and east, but in no other respect do they appear to 

 differ from one another. This species extends to the east of the Kakhyen hills, and 

 is very plentiful in Upper Burma. On one occasion near Bhamo I saw a solitary 

 cock with more than one hen and a number of young birds.
