" This species is found only in lofty jungle, as well in the east as 
on the west coast of the Peninsula. It is by no means common, and 
seems partially distributed, as you may pass through miles of forest 
without seeing a single specimen. It is generally found in small 
parties of five or six, frequenting the tops of the loftiest trees, and 
feeding on fruit and berries of various kinds. I never found that 
insects had formed any portion of its food. The song of this bird is 
very rich, varied, and pleasing ; it has, however, several harsher notes, 
which are frequently heard in the jungles it frequents. It is not 
often seen in cages in the south of India, but it is very highly prized, 
both for its powers of song and speech, which are said to surpass 
those of all other birds in distinctness. 
" It has probably been from erroneous information that this species 
was named ' religiosa ' by Linnaeus, as I am not aware of its being 
considered sacred by the Hindoos." — (Jerdon.) 
" Common along the western coast of Ceylon, and extends sparingly 
into the Kandian provinces." — (E. L. Layard.)
