Habitat
The rusty Flowerpiercer typically inhabits the edges of montane evergreen forests and favors a variety of secondary vegetation types such as semi-humid/humid montane scrub, secondary forest, and second growth scrub. This species is adaptable to shrubby areas adjacent to forests, woodlands in subtropical zones, and human-altered landscapes, including coffee plantations, flowering shrubs, and hedgerows near settlements and large urban environments, but it generally avoids mature forests.
