Feeding Habits
Rusty-fronted Barwing primarily eats insects like grasshoppers and ants, along with berries from wild strawberries and figs, and laurel seeds. Rusty-fronted Barwing forages mid-forest and in dense edges, often in small to large groups, and sometimes associates with mixed-species feeding flocks.
Habitat
The rusty-fronted Barwing is typically found in areas characterized by dense undergrowth, including scrub-jungle and forest edges. Its preferred environment consists of warm broadleaf evergreen forests with abundant shrubbery, secondary growth areas, and regions with significant bamboo presence. The species thrives in habitats that offer a rich mix of dense vegetation and undergrowth for foraging and shelter.
