Usually encountered foraging in small flocks or flying overhead. Inhabits open forests, forest edge, fields, and village fringes in hilly and montane regions. Song is a series of wheezy notes with bursts of trills and “tinks” in between. Most common call is a high twitter, often heard as the bird flies overhead. Other calls include wheezy and raspy sounds reminiscent of the song.
