It is a fawn coloured bird with black and bird zebra markings on back, wings and tails. It has a conspicuous fan-shaped crest, and long, slender, gently curved bill. Both the sexes are alike. It can be seen singly or in pairs usually on the ground in lightly wooded country. Its food habits include insects, grubs and pupae, hence is beneficial to agriculture. Its nesting season is from February to May. Its nest is a natural tree hollow or hole in the wall or ceiling of a building, untidily lined with straw, rags and rubbish.
