Behaviour

These guys are the most hillarious birds I have ever seen. They go around in family groups seeking out bugs to feed on, all the while making many curious calls, some that sound like kittens mewing or squeaky toys. Their method of locomation is a comical bounce and at night they roost in communal nests. If some family members don't fit in the main nest they are turfed out and must use a nearby "guest" nest.
