" This is a bird of social habits, and resorts to the vicinity of 
human dwellings ; indeed, it appears to have retired from the forests, 
and established itself in the trees and hedges which surround the 
villages and plantations. The structure of its wings does not enable 
it to take long-continued excursions, but it shows itself by short and 
frequent flights between the trees and branches. It is most lively 
in the middle of the day, when, under a burning sun, the inhabitants 
uniformly retire to rest; early in the morniug, and towards the 
approach of night, it is rarely perceived ; but during the silence pre- 
vailing at noon, it enlivens the village with the song of CheetoOj 
Cheetoo, which it repeats at short intervals during its sportive sallies 
between the branches. It feeds on small insects, and its economy 
is in some measure illustrated by the comparative length and sharp- 
ness of the bill, and by the broken and splintery state in which the 
claws are frequently found. The laminae, or plates which compose 
them, are separated, and the sides are marked with small fissures, 
which appear to be occasioned by incessant use in scraping the bark 
of trees." — (Horsf., Zool. Ees. in Java.)
