Feeding Habits
Golden-sided Euphonia's primary diet consists of small berries and fruits, with occasional insects. They forage alone or in pairs, sometimes joining mixed-species flocks in various forest layers, and exhibit a tail-wagging behavior. Unique preferences include infrequent consumption of mistletoe berries.
Habitat
The golden-sided Euphonia typically inhabits the upper canopy of humid lowland forests and areas where these forests transition to less dense vegetation. It is also typical to spot the species in drier and scrubbier regions, which include savanna woodlands and secondary growth forests. This bird favors environments with abundant foliage coverage and is broadly distributed across tropical zones.
