Description

Habitat

Biome: Terrestrial ; Freshwater

Ecology: The species was believed to be almost entirely restricted to Typha (bulrush) beds growing along small, shallow watercourses and Acacia thorn-scrub1,5. However, studies in 1996 found it at a site with no permanent river or Typha, with evidence of birds roosting in extensive thorn-scrub on hillsides5. The breeding season is reported to be from September to December and the clutch-size as 4-7. It may be polygamous5,7.[1]
