active, walking and hopping about, sometimes in company with 
P. tristis, and often seen among cattle. It also, however, feeds on 
trees, on various fruits, berries, and flower-buds, and this seems to 
be its usual habit on the few occasions I have observed it out of the 
Carnatic. Its notes are somewhat similar to those of P. tristis ; it

"This species is not uncommon in the north of the island of 
Ceylon, but I never met with it in the south. Dr. Kelaart found it 
in Fort Frederick at Trincomalie. I think it breeds at Point 
Pedro, as I shot several young birds in September with the cere 
still on the base of the bill. They frequented the ploughed lands in 
small flocks of four, five, or six individuals, and fed on small insects 
and grubs." — (Layard.)
