Habitat

Biome: Terrestrial

Ecology: It inhabits dense reed thickets, mixed tall grassland, wild cardamom and bamboo , predominantly on wet substrates, along lowland river floodplains and adjacent hills , where it also occurs in grassy forest clearings. It is found up to at least 900 m , and locally up to 2,400 m generally in small flocks, except during the breeding season (April- July). It is presumably resident, although there is some indication that it makes local seasonal movements in response to the rainy season .[1]
