It is known for its striking plumage, with the males displaying vibrant pink throat and breast feathers, while the females have more subdued colors. These birds are often found in pairs or small groups, foraging for seeds and insects on the ground and in low vegetation. They have a melodious song and are known for their intricate courtship displays.
