8:30 A.M. (sunrise about 6:00 A.M.) A careful stalk located them resting about 30 feet up in a tree almost smothered in vines. Later they appeared to be playing about in the vines, hopping and making one and two foot flights as if chasing each other and playing a game like the child's game of tiggy or touching. They were not feeding. They then rested more or less motionless for ten or twelve minutes preening them- selves, occasionally making a low murmuring to each other like low chuckles. A third solitary, flew over high above the tree and both birds looked up and made a loud hoarse excited cachinnation call and kept it up for half a minute or so. The other bird id not stop but passed on over deeper into the forest. The pair then settled down into a low murmuring to each other for a few minutes then flew down to within 5 feet of the ground and commenced feeding on berries of vines and on the seeds of several trees and shrubs grow- ing at these lower levels, principally the seeds or fruits of the penubre three (soft wood small leaved trees grows much in old gardens etc.) a fruit much favored by Macro pygia elsewhere. They fed on these for 20 minutes or so, only very occasionally making a low murmuring to each other, but almost invariably answering the others murmuring call. One then approached the other (at first this was thought to be the ♂ but on shooting proved to be a ♀) and made several bows ruffled her feathers and called "Ko-Kot" several times and was similarly answered by the other which also made several bows. They raised themselves up to full height on their legs with neck stretched fully upwards then suddenly slumped down giving a bowing or bobbing effect (true bows showing the
