Feeding Habits
Narrow-billed Antwren primarily consumes a variety of insects, including orthopterans and lepidopterans, and likely feeds on spiders as well. Narrow-billed Antwren forages methodically by hopping and pausing to scan for prey, from ground level to 12 meters up, usually alone or in loose mixed-species groups. Notable for acrobatic gleaning, narrow-billed Antwren reaches for prey with quick bill movements, often hanging headfirst or making short sallies for under-leaf insects. Occasionally, narrow-billed Antwren may attend army ant swarms.
Habitat
The narrow-billed Antwren typically inhabits the understorey and mid-storey of tropical deciduous hill forests. This species favors environments with dense layers of mid-storey trees interlaced with abundant vines. The habitat is characterized by scattered larger trees, a relatively open understorey rich in lianas, and areas populated with large terrestrial bromeliads.
Dite type
Insectivorous
