" Inhabits the mountains of Bootan, Arracan " (and Nepal). — 
(Blyth.) 
Captain Tickell remarks : " I have killed several specimens of this 
bird, and watched it in its wild state at Greeng, near Darjeeling ; and 
I cannot agree in opinion with those who would class its group among 
the Crateropodines. This bird is a great devourer of grain (maize, 
rice, and buckwheat, which last is common about Nepal) . It perches 
on the tops of high trees, as well as bushes, when off its feed ; and 
in fact shows nothing in its manners of the thicket-loving, skulking, 
habits of the Crateropodines.^^
