The sexes are alike and the main colour of the body is cinnamon with a black head and the long graduated tail. The tail is black-tipped with greyish-white wing patches which are visibleduring flight. The Rufous Treepie is around 45-55 cm from head to the tail. The Weight of adult varies between 90-140 Gms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Habitat:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Treepie is a bird of open forest. It is found in wooded country, dry forest, mixed deciduous forest and scrub jungle near towns and villages and freely enters compounds and gardens. Like other corvids it is very adaptable, omnivorous and opportunistic in feeding.\u00a0They are highly arboreal and rarely come to the ground to feed.It has a variety of calls, some loud, harsh and guttural, others pleasing and melodious.<\/p>\n<p><b>Feeding:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Rufous Treepie<\/strong> is an arboreal omnivore feeding almost completely in trees on fruits, seeds,\u00a0invertebrates, small reptiles and the eggs and young of birds. It has also been known to take flesh from recently killed carcasses. It is an agile forager, clinging and clambering through the branches.<\/p>\n<p><b>Nesting and Breeding:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The nesting and breeding season extends from March to July. The nest, well concealed by foliage, is placed near the top of a tree, not necessarily at avery good height. The Rufous Treepie breeds solitary, both parentsparticipate in building the nest, which is lined with rootlets and small twigs. The female lays 3-6 lightgreenish or brownish eggs with darker markings. Both parents share duties in building, incubation and taking care of the young.<\/p>\n<p><b>Drowning Incident at Kanha Earth Lodge:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Morning around 10.00am, naturalist team from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kanhaearthlodge.com\"><strong>Kanha Earth Lodge<\/strong><\/a>, while working in the office heard loud noisy call of the Rufous Treepie. This type of call is normal and everyone ignored itbeing a common sound inside resort. But this time, harsh call continued for almost 6-7 min without anydisruption, hence all came outside to inquire, and found that the poor bird was drowning inside a waterbody, which can be seen in Photo 2.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_339\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-339\" style=\"width: 605px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-339\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pugdundeesafaris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Rufous-Tree-Pie.jpg\" alt=\"Rufous Treepie drowning in water\" width=\"605\" height=\"405\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-339\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rufous Treepie drowning in water<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Is wasn\u2019t moving, immediately drowned bird has been removed from the water.
