This is a commonly breeding resident that is largely found in open woodlands and moist forest. They are usually seen foraging in small groups to gather insects and to feed on nectar. You can identify one by spotting its white ring around the eye. Its upper body comes completely fleshed in yellow and lower abdomen area in pearly white. These birds are highly arboreal and build a cup- like nest in forked branches which is made out of cobwebs and plant fibers. They lay about 4 eggs and both the parents take care of their children with love and care.
