Many sedentary, especially in urbanized districts, others locally nomadic. Populations furthest N and S generally
move towards equator after breeding. In dry season in W Africa, some movement S into wetter savanna,
probably of non-breeders. Vagrant to Israel; also in Spain (1990), though could have escaped from
collection. (del Hoyo J, Elliott A, Sargatal J (eds), 1992)
