Takau Hijau can be found in lowland forests, in the middle and lower storeys, and often near the rivulets. It has an excellent camouflage and is difficult to spot among leaves. Both male and female has nearly same appearance except in some part. The male species has a fully emerald green plumage and has markings of black dots behind each of its ears, on its wings and neck, while the female is slightly dull and does not have black spots on its neck.
