Feeding Habits
Red-capped Robin-chat primarily consumes a varied diet of invertebrates, such as beetles, ants, moths, and termites, along with fruits. It forages on the ground and in middle strata, flipping leaf litter and gleaning leaves, adept at catching both ground and flying prey, and sometimes follows mammals or attends ant swarms to find food.
Habitat
The red-capped Robin-chat occupies a variety of forest environments, including closed evergreen forests both at lowland and middle elevations, open deciduous forests, and thornbush landscapes. It is also found in specific forested habitats like dune, riverine, ravine, and gallery forests, as well as dense undergrowth regions containing a mix of shrubs and climbers. Notably, this bird adapts well to human-altered environments and can be located in gardens with substantial tree and shrub cover. It typically avoids high elevations and is often present in arid regions during migration and when not breeding.
