" This Shrike is generally spread throughout Southern India, but 
in no place abundant, though it is far from being rare in some parts 
of the country, I having seen it most numerous in Goomsoor, and 
in the Wulliar jungle (in the gap of Coimbatore). Colonel Sykes 
says it is rare in the Deccan : this to be expected from the bareness 
of the country. It is found in open jungle, in open spaces on the 
borders of thick forests, woody nullahs, topes, avenues, and even 
thick hedges occasionally, but never in dense jungle. It may be 
observed slowly traversing the branches of the trees it frequents, in 
search of insects, chiefly coleoptera. Seen singly or in small flocks.'* 
— (Jerd., Madr. Journ. L. S. X. p. 236.) 
" This species is much more common in the lower region of 
Nepal than in the central or northern." — (Hodgs., Ind. Bev. I. 
p. 447.) 
" It is only found here (Nihinogor) in the cold season, and retires, 
it is supposed, to thick forests, where it breeds. They are found 
in small flocks of four or five pairs. Feeds on insects. It has a 
sharp cry when disturbed, but also sings with a fine mellow voice, 
and on this account is sometimes tamed." — (Dr. F. (B.) Hamilton, 
MS. II. p. 71.)
