Tailorbirds are found in singly or in pairs, usually low in the undergrowth or trees sometimes hopping on the ground. They forage for insects and have been known to feed on a range of beetles and bugs. They are attracted to insects at flowers and are known to favour the inflorescenses of mango. They are known to visit the flowers of Bombak, Salmaliaand other large flowers for nectar and get covered on the head and throat with pollen, giving them a golden-headed appearance.
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.-

Kali pertama ambo rasa sedikit teruja kerana telah berjaya mempraktikkan kaedah meburung (setting kamera) yg ambo belajar dari seorang otai birding..menggunakan "exposure delay mode"..fungsinya sama seperti mirror lock..cuma ianya kurang praktikal utk menembak burung yg sedang bergerak..^^
