" This Thrusb is to be found the whole year in the neighbourhood 
of Calcutta, but is not very common. It feeds upon insects and small 
wild fruits."— (Dr. F. (B.) Hamilton, MS. I. p. 14.) 
" Arrives at Mussooree at an elevation of five thousand feet about 
the end of May, and returns to the plains in autumn. It breeds in 
June, placing the nest in the forky branches of lofty trees, such as 
oak and wild cherry. Externally, it is sometimes composed of coarse 
dry grasses, somewhat neatly interwoven on the sides, but hanging 
down in long straggling ends from the bottom. Within this is a 
layer of green moss, and another of fine dry woody stalks of small 
plants, and a scanty lining at the bottom of fine roots. The eggs 
are three to four in number, pale greenish freckled witb rufous ; the 
spots of that colour confluent, and forming a patch at the larger end. 
Diameter, 1^ x ^ inches. Somewhat gibbous at the larger end." 
" These are not rbck-lovers at all, but true forest birds, building in 
trees, and taking their food upon the ground, where they find it in 
berries and insects among tlie withered leaves, which they expertly 
turn over with their beaks, and hence the reason why the beak is 
almost invariably clotted with mud or other dirt. I have never seen 
these birds except in woods." — (Hutton, Journ. A. S. Beng. XVII. 
part II. pp. GS2, GS5.)
