This species is common from the coast up to 700 
metres where cocopalms grow abundantly ; higher up 
where these trees are rarer it is less numerous ; above 1000 
metres it does not occur. It is a noisy bird with a very 
piercing call, frequenting plantations in open country. Not 
to be found in the forest.
