" This Shrike appears to be a more forest-haunting species than 
its congeners, but does not otherwise, that I am aware of, differ 
in its habits. Like the other species, it descends to the ground for 
its food, which consists almost wholly of grasshoppers and their 
larvffi. I have not observed in any of the Indian species the reputed 
habit of impaling insects on thorns." — (Jerd., 111. Ind. Orn.)
