Feeding Habits
Blue-naped Chlorophonia primarily consume fruits, with a preference for small berries and mistletoe seeds. They forage in canopies, in groups, and are adept at gleaning insects from foliage.
Habitat
The blue-naped Chlorophonia primarily inhabits humid forests within subtropical highlands, extending its range from montane to pre-montane locales and occasionally near sea level in some regions. Its habitat encompasses forest borders, tall or mature secondary woodlands, and in certain areas, gardens and parks. This species typically occupies elevations between 300 meters and 2500 meters, with variation across different geographical zones. In lower elevation areas, notably near the Andes, it is found almost down to sea level, particularly within Southeast Brazil.
