The immature bird is not only to be distinguished by 
the brick red tips of the secondary coverts, and the pale 
sulphur wash on the belly, but also by the absence of 
reddish brown on the throat, which is entirely blackish 
dull sepia ; in the subadult birds the brownish red feathers 
appear between the brown ones. In the adult bird the pale 
brick red feathers of the throat are indistinctly barred with

Common in secondary forest, in clumps of trees near 
villages, rarer in dense forest, from the coast up to 1000 M. 
I know of a bird in possession of one of my friends, 
which, bought as a nestling, has reached now an age 
of nine years. It is very agressive and attacks poultry, 
ducks and other birds. 
Its call consists of one single far audible note, repeated 
incessantly. Although it occasionaly takes insects, it feeds 
chiefly on fruits.
