•They eat insects and other arthropods. Sometimes they eat scraps such as bread crumbs. •Their predators are birds of prey, small mammals, domestic cats, snakes and possibly lizards. •Their nest is typical for the genus, a large thick clay "oven" placed on a tree, or man made structures such as fenceposts, telephone poles or buildings.
