Habitat
The viridian Dacnis primarily resides in moist forests and forest edges, often found in hilly regions rather than flat coastal lowlands. This species is adapted to tropical lowland habitats and usually forages in the forest canopy. While viridian Dacnis has been noted in dry forests and scrubland, this is less documented and could be attributed to dispersal or seasonal movements.
