Feeding Habits
Orangequit has a diverse diet, feeding on nectar, fruits, invertebrates, and seeds. It displays a variety of foraging behaviors and possesses specialized feeding adaptations, though not specified here. Orangequit is known for a preference towards certain flowers for nectar, indicative of a coevolution with local flora.
Habitat
The orangequit primarily inhabits humid forests and is also commonly found within shade coffee plantations. This bird species' range extends from sea level up to elevations of 1500 meters, with a preference for middle elevations. While the orangequit favors areas with dense canopy cover, it has adapted well to the agricultural environment of coffee plantations, where it can still find suitable shelter and resources.
