Rufescent Prinia

144) Rufescent Prinia

Rufescent Prinia, Prinia rufescens, Perenjak Belukar

Prinias have adapted well to cultivated areas. They are found in grasslands with tall grasses, reedbeds and scrubs. They eat insects for which they forage actively among low bushes or tall grass. These active, slender birds may hop up grass stems to scan the surroundings, making lively and loud calls. But at the slightest sign of danger, they dive down into the tall grass, or flies low over the grass-tops for a short distance before dropping into cover. Rufescent Prinia usually found in open scrubs near forest, the other Prinia, the YellowBellied Prinia usually more towards grasslands. The rare one, Hill Prinia can only be found deep in submontane or montane forest.

Perenjak adalah burung kecil yang boleh dijumpai di kawasan padang terbuka, terutama yang banyak mempunyai rumput tinggi dan belukar. Ia bergerak berpasangan di dalam rimbunan rumput memburu serangga sambil berbunyi bising. Jika diganggu, ia akan segera menyelinap ke dalam semak dan menghilang.
