Bulawayo , Southern Rhodesia. 
This, the only species of the genus occurring here, is 
rather common. It is usually seen flying in parties of from 
six to twelve. Its flight is very steady and even, but not 
particularly rapid, as has been stated by one author. The 
tail during flight is usually carried at an angle of about 45° 
to the horizontal. 
It has been pointed out to me that a party of these birds 
always roosts in the same tree, night after night. It is a 
thorn-tree (. Acacia horrida ). 
A young example, although apparently in the ordinary 
adult plumage, except for its short tail (5*75 inches), had 
the bill grey; the cere and bare skin round the eye greyish.

The “ Go-away bird,” as it is called, is fairly common, 
and often to be seen perched on the topmost branches of 
trees, uttering its well-known cry, which has suggested both 
the English and native names.
