Feeding Habits
Rufous-naped Bellbird primarily consumes insects, supplemented by worms and fruit. Renowned for capturing large prey, it forages on the ground (25%) and in undergrowth (60%) and lower tree levels (15%). Notably, rufous-naped Bellbird feeds on tree trunks and large branches, skillfully creeping along them.
Habitat
The rufous-naped Bellbird is typically found in montane forests, including both undisturbed primary forest areas and regions of secondary growth, indicating some degree of adaptability to habitats altered by natural or anthropogenic factors. These birds inhabit regions that possess dense canopy cover and are characterized by general forested environments. Geographically, they are not limited to a single continent, preferring such forest types within broader temperate to tropical zones.
