This is a small brown bird found in open country and gardens. They feed on small insects, seeds of grass and weed and show their swagger by swaying their tails up and down as they walk on branches. Maybe Miley Cyrus can spark some new trend after watching this!! These birds fly rather low except in the breeding season when competition is high and getting a mating partner is the priority.
