Feeding Habits
Song Wren primarily consumes terrestrial invertebrates like spiders, millipedes, orthopterans, and beetles, occasionally adding small vertebrates. It forages in leaf litter and understory, employing unique adaptations for extracting prey from cover.
Habitat
Song Wren inhabit tropical wet forests' interiors, primarily in lowland areas. Their preferred environments are dense, structurally complex understories and leaf-strewn grounds of primary and secondary growth forests, typically terrestrial with a distinct avoidance of dry coastal regions. They thrive in dark, tangled vegetation, often utilizing treefall gaps and engaging in leaf-tossing foraging behaviors on the forest floor.
