Rather uncommon breeding resident of forests
and adjoining well wooded home gardens throughout the island, primarily in wet
zone and riverine habitats of dry zone while much common in the hill country. It is
very active bird and can be seen usually running up and down about tree trunks
and branches of trees in searching insects that hide beneath barks. It keeps in
pairs and breeds during January to May. The nest builds inside a natural cavity
or abandoned nest-hole of a barbet in a tree where it lays 3-4 eggs.
