Habitat

Found in a variety of habitats from coastal scrub to mountain forest, anywhere between sea level and 2,000 m (2). Although wary of man and normally not venturing far from cover, this bird will visit cultivated areas and plantations in search of food (7), and likes to frequent open places in wet weather, such as roadsides or glades, in order to feed free from drippings trees (3).
