Feeding Habits
Yellow-bellied Elaenia primarily consumes insects and berries. They forage by gleaning foliage and occasionally by engaging in aerial sallies. Unique to their diet is a preference for certain berries during specific seasons.

Yellow-bellied Elaenia thrives in a wide range of both humid and dry wooded environments which include semi-open woodlands, secondary growths and forest edges, as well as scrub and savannah terrains. This species also adapts to human-modified landscapes, commonly spotted in brushy riverbanks, weedy clearings with trees, and vegetated urban areas like gardens.
