Group feeding not factual
Note the statement "they often feed in groups of up to 6 members" isn't factual. Both male and female Copsychus saularis are solitary, highly territorial and prone to fighting. They are native to my region and I see many of them in the wild in different habitats everyday but I haven't seen they forming any "pack" with more than 2 members for the last 20 years. They only form pairs during breeding seasons. My observation is in accordance with discussions with all aviculturists and bird breeders - note although they have been bred for years in captivity and most of the aggressive ones have killed each other off leaving the more placid temperate ones to breed in aviaries, adult group feeding is not observed in both captivity and in the wild, making this statement "they often feed in groups of up to 6 members" dubious at best. I know experience shared by aviculturists and bird breeders is not a reliable source but I am raising the problem here for future reference and improvement.

 * Good catch. The bit about aerial insect catching is also dubious insertion into previously well-referenced content. Shyamal (talk) 06:59, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Have removed that content - in fact most of the content added by User:Abhay ravi was of the same quality - uncited and badly written. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Oriental_Magpie-Robin&diff=501117393&oldid=498803004 Shyamal (talk) 07:02, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

duplication should be removed
The article contains these two sentences, one of which should be removed: "The calls of many other species may be imitated as part of their song.[20]" and "They appear to use elements of the calls of other birds in their own songs.[22]"

These duplicate each other: one should be removed (preferably the second...) and the citation of the second attached to the first... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.130.185.175 (talk) 17:20, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks, removed the repetition and retained the cite. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 17:58, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
