" Usually seen on the ground busily engaged in searching for large 
beetles, which constitute the chief portion of its food. It is very 
active in leaping along the ground, and flies well, and to a great dis- 
tance at a time. The nest is said to be made in large trees : it is 
very large, and covered as in the Magpie's, with an entrance on one 
side."— (G. E. Gray's Gen. of Birds.) 
Dr. Both, in his MS. Notes, states, that " this bird runs quick, 
and feeds on Maiz (Mashela) and Holcus Sorghum, Linn. (TefF.). 
Is not rare in Geddem."
