This species is the medium-sized bird of passerine group (Passeriformes), eating small insects and mites parasitizing on large herbivores. It is one of descendants of buffalo weaverbirds. The size is 10 cm (including a tail). It draws to itself the attention of possible "clients" by bright colouring (a yellow belly, red head and a beak, a white tip of a beak, top of a body, wings and a tail are striped, black-and-white) and by loud shouts. At absence of herbivores it is capable to catch insects similar to other birds. It nests solitary in trees, protects the nesting area. The nest is closed, spherical, it is plaited on tips of flexible branches. The number of eggs is 3 - 4, an incubating period lasts 12 days. Nestlings take off from a nest in the age of 15 - 16 days, parents finish to food

Nestlings take off from a nest in the age of 15 - 16 days, parents finish to food them after 4 - 5 days. For a season it happens from 2 up to 4 clutches (depending on quantity of grass growing in a rain season and as long time herbivores animals are staying there).
