Very common breeding resident found in wooded
areas and home gardens both in villages and towns in al climatic zones of the
island. It keeps in pairs and actively feeds on small insects, spiders etc. among
foliage of trees and bushes, usually uttering its loud and rather monotonous
call to keep in touch with its partner. It breeds probably throughout the year
but the main season appears to be February to March. Common Tailorbird builds its nest in a cavity
formed by sewing together either the sides of a large single leave or of two or
more smaller leaves, where it lays 2-3 eggs.
