/ Drawing. From Dr. F. (B.) Hamilton's Collection. 
"This sprightly and pleasing bird is in general found in the 
Peninsula, only in lofty jungle, as well as on the east coast (as in 
Goomsoor), as the west coast, but I have also seen it in low bushy 
ground on the sea-coast, between Calicut and Telicherry, and it is 
most abundant on the summit of the Neilgherries, in gardens and 
shrubby ground. It is a most lively and active bird, always on the 
move, and warbling its pleasant chirruping notes, which are much 
sweeter than those of the common Bulbul. It lives chiefly on 
fruit and seeds, but also on insects occasionally, which I have seen 
it picking off the ground. Its flight is steady, but not rapid, and its 
crest is never erected during flight, but always the moment it alights. 
A deserted nest was pointed out to me in a low shrub close to a house 
in Ootacamund, as that of this bird ; it was very neatly made with 
moss, lichen, small roots and twigs, and well lined with hair and 
down."— (Jerd., Madr. Journ. L. S. X. p. 250.) 
" These birds are in great request among the natives, being of a 
fearless disposition, and easily reclaimed. They are taught to sit on 
the hand, and numbers may thus be seen in any Indian bazaar." —
