Behavior
Tailorbirds are found singly or in pairs, usually low in the undergrowth or trees, sometimes hopping on the ground. The birds roost alone during the non-breeding season but may roost side-by-side during the breeding season, sometimes with the newly fledged juvenile sandwiched between the adults. The roost sites chosen are thin twigs on trees with cover above them and were often close to human habitation and lights.
