"The Indian Eed-breast inhabits the continent generally, visiting 
the plains in the cold season. Is rare to the south; extremely 
common in lower Bengal." — (Blyth.) 
" Is found in the neighbourhood of villages, in the northern part of 
the table-land. Is seen in small flocks, as well as singly, perched on 
the lower boughs of some large mango or tamarind tree ; it hops to 
the ground to pick up ants and other insects, occasionally hopping 
a step or two, and then flying back, frequently alights on the trunk 
of the tree, clinging to it for some seconds. It occasionally takes a 
very short flight from its perch and back again." — (Jerd., Madr. J.
