Exceedingly common in open spaces at 500 feet, and over, 
together with the Flowerpeckers. 
This is a very characteristic submontane bird inhabiting 
the zone between about 500 ft. and 3,000 ft. In the coast 
lands it is replaced by Ae. siparaja and Ae. s. cara and on the 
higher mountains by Ae. wrayz, Sharpe. 
The present species has a pleasant though feeble little song 
and is very active and restless in its movements. On Kedah 
Peak females were curiously scarce and hardly any were seen.
