Lives in open country, plantations, village and town 
gardens. Its nest is suspended in the fork of a slender twig. 
Feeds on fruit and insects. Besides the facts summed up 
by Robinson and Kloss (Coil. Birds N. E. Sumatra, p. 126) 
for discerning the immature birds, the followmg may be 
mentioned. 
The bill is brownish black, and as the bird advances ° 
in age it becomes more or less stained by pinkish horn and 
gradually the blackish colour fades. The upper side of the 
body, except the tail coverts, is olivaceus green. The black 
in the tail and wings is not a clear black, but strongly 
suffused by olivaceus green, just as in the adult female. 
The collar behind the neck from lore to lore, in the adults 
deep black, is in the immature bird greenish olivaceus, 
stained more or less with black.
