Feeding Habits
Ochre-flanked Tapaculo mainly consumes arthropods, foraging in pairs often in dense thickets with a unique 'jump-scratching' technique—kicking earth and leaves backwards while digging into the ground.
Habitat
The habitat of ochre-flanked Tapaculo typically comprises very dense, humid undergrowth within forests dominated by Nothofagus trees and mature secondary woodlands. These birds favor areas with a significant presence of bamboo. They are known to inhabit environments ranging from sea level regions to areas that might extend above this band, within broader temperate forest ecosystems.
