SOCIAL-ORGANIZATION AND FEEDING OF THE RUFOUS BABBLER POMATOSTOMUS-ISIDORI

P. isidori appears to behave similarly to Australian babblers; i.e., it forms permanent flocks that hold territories and roosts communally. The flock uses 1 nest at a time and all members of the flock appear to build the nest and feed young. The flock feeds as a unit and mainly frequents the lower understory of rain forest. P. isidori associates more often than not with other species, including 3 that mimic its coloration and calls. The species seem very sensitive to human activity.
