Lives at an altitude from 1000-1850 M. in the dense 
forest, usually creeping about in the low undergrowth and 
never high above the ground; at the altitude of 1850—- 
2200 M. where the trees have a more dwarfed character it 
is to be found in the thick bush which at that level covers 
the ground. The birds are very tame and confiding in 
their habits ; they usually visited our camp in pairs, flitting 
about on the fallen timber a yard or two before my feet, 
which made it very difficult to shoot them without blowing 
them to pieces.
