The crown and cheeks of the young bird are cream 
coloured, spotted with a few ochraceous feathers ; there is 
a pale brown patch on the rump, and the wings and tail 
are much paler and edged with light yellowish olive : the 
under-tailcoverts are pale greenish yellow. 
The bird lives in open country in clumps of bushes, 
by preference near water, e.g. rivers, marshes or ponds. 
It is rather common and not very shy; on account of its 
beautiful but rather too loud song it is caught on a large 
scale with the aid of bird lime. It feeds on fruit, especially 
on Ficus fruit and berries. Its nest, which is constructed 
not more than two or three metres above the ground, 
often on boughs overhanging the water, is remarkably 
small for a bird of its size, and made out of thin tendrils 
and roots. The material is woven as open lace work, 
so that the eggs can be seen from the outside ; the clutch 
consisting of two eggs.
