" The Wowo-wiwi is rarely met with in Java. It never visits the 
villages, but resides in the closest forests, which are the usual resort 
of the tiger. The natives even assert that it approaches this animal 
with the same familiarity with which the Jallak {Pastor j alia, Horsf.) 
approaches the buffalo, and that it has no dread to alight on the tiger's 
back. The Wowo-wiwi is never seen in confinement ; the few indi- 
viduals which I obtained were from the closest forests of the district 
of Pugar, and from the ranges of low hills south of the capital of 
Surakarta. Like most other species of this family, it is a nocturnal 
bird." — (Horsfield, Zool. Ees. in Java.)
