People around here sometimes call them Happy Families, as they are a very social bird, the whole family participates in building the solid mud nest, and they even take turns in egg sitting.
They spend most of their time feeding on the ground, walking around in the family group.
All members seem to participate in feeding the young, who are fed for many months. They have some fascinating behavioural rituals, I could go on and on!

One bit I left out of my original description because it might have been my imagination now looks like one of those rituals. I had the distinct impression that the whole flock/family of eight flew across the valley to the tree next to my cabin so that one pair could mate.
