Comparing with gorgeous male birds, the female Sultan tit is a bit duller. Her upper plumage and sides are dark green-brown. She also has a glossy dark olive-green chin and throat and a dull black tail.

Young birds look quite similar to female birds.

They prefer living in lowland forests. The social nature makes these birds get along with other bird species.

Their breeding season begins from April to July. Female Sultan tit builds her nest in the cavity of a tree. She then lays 5-7 eggs in the nest, incubates them, and feeds the chicks until fully fledged.
