" This pretty and lively bird is more numerously and extensively 
spread than any of its congeners, and is to be found in most woody 
situations, even in the dry Camatic, in jungle, and in thick hedges 
and avenues occasionally, and in some of the larger topes in the 
Deccan. It is, however, most abundant on the West Coast. It is 
a restless and active little creature, ever engaged in diligently ex- 
amining the extreme branches of trees, gleaning among the fohage, 
and hanging from the slender twigs like a titmouse. It feeds upon 
various larvae (which are its favourite food) and small insects." — 
(Jerd., Madr. Journ. L. S. X. p. 244.) 
Lieutenant Tickell remarks : " The males unite in flocks apart 
from the females at the close of the cold season." — (Journ. A. S. 
Beng. II. p. 574.)
