Feeding Habits
Grey-breasted Sabrewing mainly consumes nectar from flowering plants like ericads and Heliconia, and in certain regions prefers Melastomataceae bushes. It also catches arthropods mid-air through hawking, displaying territorial behavior around its feeding areas.
Habitat
The grey-breasted Sabrewing is typically found in a range of humid forest environments including secondary growth regions, clearings, and dense thickets. They are also prevalent in plantation areas, where they forage at low to medium heights in the understory. Their habitats are characterized by high humidity and abundant vegetation, spanning broad geographic regions within tropical zones.
