Feeding Habits
Boyer's Cuckooshrike primarily feeds on fruit, particularly figs, and insects. These birds forage mainly in the upper canopy, occasionally in lower secondary growth, and use a gleaning technique to capture prey from bark and crevices, sometimes hovering. They forage solo or in small groups, not typically joining mixed-species parties.
Habitat
The habitat of boyer's Cuckooshrike typically includes a variety of forested environments, such as dense forest interiors, forest edges, and regions with tall secondary growth. These birds are also found in areas that have been partly cleared, as well as in mangrove forests in some areas. Their habitat preference chiefly spans lowland regions and hilly terrains.
