Karoo-Scrub

Notes:

This is a social bird outside the breeding season, feeding together in small groups, normally of about half a dozen birds, but sometimes up to 15 or more. It engages in mutual preening and roosts in groups at night. It is more wary than other mousebirds. The Red-faced Mousebird has a whistled tsee-tee-tee call.
