" This most lovely- plumaged bird is far from being uncommon in 
many of the lofty forest jungles of Malabar ; I have seen it in the 
jungles near Palghautcherry, Trichoor, the Wynaad, and on the 
Coonoor Ghaut, as high as 4,000 feet, and upwards. It is only 
found in the densest portions of the jungle. It lives generally in 
small parties of four or five, or more, occasionally in pairs ; frequents 
the loftiest trees near their summits, and feeds on various fruits and 
berries. It has a loud, mellow, agreeable warble, which it is frequently 
heard repeating, by which I have generally first detected their 
presence in the thick and umbrageous parts of the forest they in- 
habit."~(Jerd., Madr. Journ. X. p. 262.)
