Its dingy cream coloured crown is contrasting with the dark ear covers as well as its shaper. Its more musical call notes distinguish this species from the jungle babbler and other related species. It is seen in dense scrub, orchards and urban gardens. It is a gregarious creature. It eats insects and vegetable matter. Its nesting season is from January to November. Its nest consists of an open bowl of twigs and rootlets built low in bushes. Communal or co-operative nest building and rearing of young is common among babblers. This species is parasitized by the Pied Crested Cuckoo.
