Feeding Habits
Golden-crested Myna mainly consume fruits, and likely supplement their diet with insects. These birds usually forage in pairs or small groups, predominantly at the canopy level, exhibiting sociable feeding behavior.
Habitat
The golden-crested Myna typically inhabits lowland evergreen forests, including deciduous and mixed woodlands. They are also found in open forests and areas that have been cleared yet retain tall, relict trees. Preferring the understorey and middle levels of vegetation, these birds occupy broadleaf forests recognized for their lush, dense foliage, a characteristic of their preferred tropical habitats across wider geographical regions.
