Feeding Habits
Bornean Treepie is omnivorous, leaning towards carnivory, feasting on invertebrates like grasshoppers and beetles, as well as fruits, seeds, and human-provided scraps. They forage socially in canopies down to the ground, hopping with tails up, and even follow humans for food.
Habitat
The bornean Treepie predominantly inhabits hill and mountain forests, which includes areas of both untouched primary forests and regenerating secondary growth. Its environment is characterized by dense scrub-jungle, bamboo thickets, and the agricultural peripheries near village outskirts. The bird is typically associated with valley forests in foothill regions.
