A long bright tail flicks across the canopy and a metallic ko-ki-la rings out — half corvid trickster, half garden ornament. It will steal anything not nailed down.
- Populasi
- Not quantified; described as generally common to very common across its range, though rare in Vietnam
- Habitat
- Open deciduous woodland, dry and mixed deciduous forest, secondary growth, scrub, plantations, cultivated land, and urban gardens; typically below 1,000 m but reaching up to 2,100 m locally
- Fakta menarik
- The rufous treepie acts as a cleaning symbiont for sambar deer, perching on them to pick off and eat ectoparasites — a relationship the deer tolerate and even seem to invite by holding still.
