Mr. Hodgson applies the habits of the preceding species to this 
also, and Mr. Jerdon also says : " This powerful bird is generally 
spread throughout India, though far from being common ; it fre- 
quents chiefly the more wooded districts, though also found in topes 
and avenues in open country. It is partly diurnal. Its voice is a 
loud and harsh hollow laugh." — (Madr. Journ. L. S. X. p. 90.) 
Lieutenant Tickell remarks on the habits of this bird: " Frequents 
the thickest jungle, in deep retired dells, between high rocks op 
scarped hills, perching low, and passing the mid-day in the centre of 
some impervious thicket. It is, however, partially diurnal, and easily 
flushed in the brightest day, when it flies heavily over the underwood 
to a short distance, and drops headlong into the first convenient 
bush. Towards twilight, it emerges from its concealment, and may 
be observed seated with great majesty on the summit of some granite 
boulder, on the side of a hill overlooking the surrounding jungle. Its 
voice is hoarse and hollow, and, connected with the gloomy scene and 
hour in which it is heard, the repulsive laugh in which it occasionally 
vents its notes, ' Haw, Haw, Haw, Ho ! ' cannot fail to strike a 
fanciful liistener with unpleasing associations."— (Journ. A. S. Beug. 
II. p. 571.)
