Feeding Habits
White-tailed Starfrontlet predominantly feeds on nectar from a variety of flowers, including Fuchsia and bromeliads, adapting to a similar floral range as other Coeligena species. They also consume arthropods through gleaning or hawking and exhibit territorial feeding behaviors, occasionally following trap-lining patterns.
Habitat
The habitat of white-tailed Starfrontlet comprises the interior and peripheries of humid and wet montane forests. These regions are characterized by dense vegetation and a moist climate ideal for the bird's survival and feeding patterns. Notably, there's a slight sexual dimorphism in habitat preferences, with males often inhabiting forest clearings, while females are more frequently observed at the forest edges.
