Feeding Habits
Black-billed Sicklebill's diet consists of arthropods and fruit capsules. Black-billed Sicklebill forages in the forest's mid to upper levels, using its bill as forceps or for probing to extract food. It occasionally joins mixed-species flocks for foraging.
Habitat
The black-billed Sicklebill typically inhabits middle montane forests that have experienced little to no logging, often residing at the edges of these forests. These areas are characterized by dense, mature forest canopies and a complex understory, providing the necessary environmental conditions for the species' survival and breeding.

General Info

Distribution Area

The black-billed sicklebill is found in mountainous areas in western, central, and eastern New Guinea. The species is mostly distributed in tropical montane forests at altitudes of 1100 to 1900 m above sea level. It overlaps with Drepanornis brujini only barely, but no hybridization has ever been recorded, though it is possible to occur.

Species Status

Widespread throughout its large range, the black-billed sicklebill is evaluated as being of least concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. It is listed on Appendix II of CITES.
