Habitat
The red-crested Cotinga is commonly found in areas where cloudforest margins give way to patches of trees and shrubs, and it can also be seen in regions where agricultural landscapes are interspersed with hedgerows and trees. These environments provide the red-crested Cotinga with unique ecological niches characterized by a mix of dense foliage and open space, essential for its foraging and nesting.
