This species mainly feeds on insects and small arthropods (beetles, centipedes, etc.), but also on berries and fruits (especially of Saurauja species). The breeding season lasts from April to June. The nest is made by both males and females and consists of a tidy cup mainly made of grasses and bamboo leaves.[3] It is built at about 1 m above the ground level. Females lay 2-3 eggs, that are incubated for 17–18 days. The chicks are fed by both parents and leave the nest in 14–16 days.
