Feeding Habits
Chestnut-crowned Bush Warbler's diet is mainly small invertebrates and larvae. It forages in dense vegetation or on the ground, displaying secretive and mouse-like behavior, and sometimes appears on open clearings or paths.
Habitat
Chestnut-crowned Bush Warbler typically inhabits thick underbrush, including high-altitude fir forest ground vegetation and thorny scrub. They show a preference for rhododendron shrubberies within fir forests, particularly around the tree line, as well as dwarf rhododendron thickets found above the tree line. During the winter months, chestnut-crowned Bush Warbler moves to more open grassy and scrubby areas, often near water, and is occasionally found at the edges of forests in lowland regions.
