Feeding Habits
Rio De Janeiro Antbird primarily feeds on various insects, including caterpillars and grasshoppers, and likely spiders. Foraging alone or occasionally with mixed-species flocks, rio De Janeiro Antbird hops methodically in dense vegetation, making short sallies to snatch prey, which is devoured after being bashed. Uniquely, rio De Janeiro Antbird executes flutter-chases and employs wing-assisted hops within thickets.
Habitat
Rio De Janeiro Antbird typically inhabits the understorey and mid-storey of dense evergreen second-growth thickets and forest edges. These birds are found in humid, shaded environments that support a rich array of vine tangles. They are known to adapt well to a variety of second-growth habitats, particularly those with abundant intertwining vines. Areas with a combination of emergent shrub and tree growth entwined with herbaceous vines, bamboos, and philodendrons are also favorable habitats for rio De Janeiro Antbird.
