' Very common among bamboos around villages, but rarely found in 

 old jungle. Very weak in flight, and loth to use its wings unless hard 

 pressed. In Perak and Selangor this species is only found in the hills, and 

 the Patani river seems to be about its southern limit for low country. I have 

 never seen it on the ground as mentioned by Davison. In Patani most Cuckoos 

 of the group Phoenicophainae are called Burong kera, probably from the chuckling 

 note which somewhat resembles the sound made by the Kera Monkey.'
