" A most abundant and conspicuous species in Bengal and Nepal. 
This is the Sat Bhai, or Seven Brothers, of the natives, so called from 
being always found in a company of about that number. It is one 
of the most chattering, noisiest birds in India, squeaking and 
hopping about, now on the ground, then upon a tree, the flock being 
constantly on the move ; when one starts, all the rest follow it, one 
after another, making generally but a short flight of not more than 
forty or fifty yards at a time, and when alighted they hold a sort of 
consultation, hopping about and chattering all the time, till after a 
few minutes they move off" to another tree, and so on for the greater 
part of the day, rarely staying for more than half an hour in the same 
place. They feed on insects." — (Pearson, J. A. S. B. X. p. 650.)
