The Magpie Robin is a trim black-and-white bird with cocked tail as in Indian Robin. Black portions of male replaced by brown and slaty grey in female. It is found singly or in pairs, about human habitations. It is one of the more familiar birds about towns and villages. Its song is punctuated by upward jerks of white-fringed tail. Its food consists of insects, chiefly picked off the ground, and flower nectar as of Salmalia and Erythrina. Its nesting season is from April to July.
