Feeding Habits
Philippine Trogon primarily consumes insects like grasshoppers, snatched from branches, showcasing a specialized foraging technique.
Habitat
Philippine Trogon typically inhabits the lower and middle strata of primary forests, including diverse types such as those on ultrabasic rock, but avoids mossy forests. They are more frequently observed at lower elevations, particularly between 200-600 meters, although they can be found up to 2000 meters. Dense vegetation in valleys and alongside streams within these elevations offers an ideal environment. Second growth forests also provide a habitat for them, where they prefer the dark recesses of the understory, often perching 5-10 meters above ground on vines or branches.
