Feeding Habits
Green Honeycreeper has a varied omnivorous diet, including fruits, nectar, arthropods, and berries. It forages among Lasiacis grass racemes and Rhipsalis cacti, also consuming bees and insects. Noteworthy is its preference for cacti berries and grass, which reflects its adaptivity.
Habitat
Green Honeycreeper typically inhabits tropical and subtropical regions, thriving in the high canopies of humid forests including both primary and secondary growth areas. These birds are also commonly seen in forest clearings and edges, where they have better access to their preferred food sources such as flowering and fruiting trees. Green Honeycreeper's presence across various forested terrains indicates their adaptability to various stages of woodland regeneration.

Behavior
This is a forest canopy species. The female green honeycreeper builds a small cup nest in a tree, and incubates the clutch of two brown-blotched white eggs for 13 days.
