The nest is generally made in the steep bank of some 
brook, but I have also found nests hollowed out in the 
globular nests of tree-termites (Hutermes). In all these 
cases the nests were still inhabited by the termites. The 
bird is very noisy and often during the day its screaming 
call can be heard. It first utters a shrill note in quick 
succession, to be followed by the sound, “ kake”’ repeated 
several times.

has the upper mandible brownish black with reddish 
tomium, the lower mandible orange red with orange tip.

This species lives in the dense forest. 
At Andalas I found the male sitting in front of its nest 
tunnel made in the globular nest of a kind of tree-termite 
(Eutermes). In this respect it seems to have similar habits 
to Halcyon chloris. The clutch consisted of two eggs.
