A rather uncommon breeding resident found in forests and well-wooded areas of villages and towns, ranging from the wet lowlands to the mid-hills, as well as the foothills of the dry lowlands. It is usually seen in pairs or small flocks and feeds on fruits, buds, seeds, grains, and the nectar of certain flowers. The breeding season extends from February to May and again from August to September. It lays two to four eggs in a tree cavity—often an adapted Barbet’s or Woodpecker’s hole, or a natural hollow, usually in a dead tree.
