" The Tuti has a feeble twittering song, but soft and pleasing, being 
intermediate to that of the European Goldfinch and that of the small 
Eedpole Linnet ; the call-note much resembling that of a canary-bird. 
It is commonly sold alive by the dealers in Calcutta." — (Blyth.) 
" The Tuti arrives in the Peninsula from the north about Novem- 
ber, and remains till March. I observed it in thick jungle at the 
bottom of the Coonoor pass, busily engaged in eating the seeds of 
the lofty bamboos. I have also observed it several times in large 
groves of trees in the northern part of the table-land. It associates 
in flocks of various numbers, and devours various grains, especially 
Jowaree {Andropogon Sorghum^ Linn.), and also rice ; and in default of 
these, various other grains, seeds, and even flower-buds, and young 
leaves of trees. It is occasionally caught and domesticated on account 
of its song." — (Jerdon.)
