fuliginosa and the Dull-coloured Grassquit Tiaris obscuraT. obscura are mystery birds, even to ornithologists. Both are associated with bamboo and probably, like the Magpie Mannikin Lonchura fringilloides in Africa (Restall, 1996), have bursts of highly productive breeding when bamboo is in seed. I have both species of grassquit in the laboratory at the time of writing (November 2003), and hope eventually to be able to prepare some notes on their behaviour. More
