Feeding Habits
Black-crowned Barwing's diet is mainly speculative, possibly insectivorous or plant-based. Customarily forages solo or in pairs, adept at navigating tree canopies, trunks, and mossy boughs.
Habitat
The black-crowned Barwing typically inhabits forest peripheries and areas of secondary growth, favoring open broadleaf evergreen forests. It is also found in tall grass and scrublands adjacent to these forests, including open pine woodlands, as well as small forest patches interspersed with agricultural areas, where banana groves and shifting cultivation practices are present.

General Info

Behavior

Sightings have been either of single birds or bird in pairs.

Distribution Area

They are residents to three locations in Laos and 7 locations in Vietnam, also found in Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (IBA) include the DakChung Plateau, Lo Xo Pass, and Ngoc Linh. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest, subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland, subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland, and plantations. Although they use degraded/cleared forests, they were mostly found in secondary growth or evergreen forests. Their elevation maximum was at 2400m, with observers noting less sightings above 2200m. The minimum elevation range could not be determined properly since the site contained loss of forest habitat below 1500m, though there were sightings at 1000m. See External Links for Distribution map.

Species Status

It is threatened by habitat loss.
