Feeding Habits
Northern Marquesan Reed Warbler likely has a similar diet to A. mendanae, consisting of insects and other small invertebrates. Northern Marquesan Reed Warbler's foraging habits involve actively searching vegetation. Unique dietary details are not specified.
Habitat
The northern Marquesan Reed Warbler is generally found in environments with dense vegetation, including dense bushes, thickets, secondary forests, and coconut groves that have an understorey. It thrives not only in native flora but has also adapted to areas with invasive plant species like Leucaena leucocephala and Acacia farnesiana. Preferring more mesic habitats, northern Marquesan Reed Warbler tends to avoid low, sparse grassy areas, instead occupying habitats that are drier and more low-lying than those of endemic monarchs in the same geographical regions.
