Habitat

"Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical mangrove forests"

"The preferred habitat [is]… shrubby understory in forest, or tall grasses in grassland or swampy areas..."

So which is true? Is the natural habitat moist forest and mangrove. Or does the natural habitat include grassland? Certainly in Timor these birds are common residents of dry forest and grassland. 49.255.59.94 (talk) 23:59, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
