Feeding Habits
Curve-billed Scythebill sustains mainly on arthropods, including beetles and scorpions. Prefers foraging in mixed-species flocks from understorey to subcanopy, often using its long bill to probe into recesses for prey.
Habitat
The curve-billed Scythebill resides predominantly in tropical lowland humid evergreen forests, with a strong preference for terra firme forests, avoiding flooded forests where it's replaced by similar species. It favors ecosystems rich in structural complexity such as Guadua bamboo thickets, vine tangles, and dense understorey, especially areas with short palm species. This bird is usually found in the interior of mature forests, yet it may occasionally forage at the forest edge. Its habitat spans across broader tropical regions.
