yes, we in our colony quarters used to come across these pretty birds almost every day sitting on window/door panes, foto/wall hanging frames making their characteristic "chiv chiv'sound; more seen during their nesting periods to find a suitable location for nesting.Surprisingly, no nests we have observd.
Relatives from Bangalore, when arrived here used to show these birds to their children at surprise.
