Uncommon and local breeding resident of grasslands and scrublands from lowlands to mid hills. Much common in the dry lowlands and rare in the wet zone and hills. It lives as pairs or as small flocks, skulking mostly in dense shrubbery, feeding mainly on insects. But towards the evening they often perch on twigs in a open place and utter its loud call. Main breeding season lasts from February to May. The nest is a deep cup made out of grass-blades bound with cobwebs, which fastened to several stems of long
Mana type grasses, where it lays three or four eggs.
