Feeding Habits
Short-billed Honeycreeper forages on nectar, insects, fruit, and seeds, often joining mixed flocks at fruiting trees. They exhibit a generalist diet with unique opportunistic feeding alongside tanagers, and display a less-developed sugar discrimination than similar nectivores.
Habitat
Short-billed Honeycreeper's habitat consists primarily of tropical lowland evergreen forests, with a particular association with nutrient-poor soils such as white sands and reddish or yellowish soils. They thrive in primary forest habitats, including second-growth areas, forest edges, and clearings with scattered trees. Short-billed Honeycreeper are frequently found in sunny forest gaps and areas with dense canopy cover. They inhabit the canopy and forest edges down to the midstory and are often spotted in regions where the forest transitions into savannas or cerrado, indicating a preference for ecotonal environments.
