Feeding Habits
Buff-breasted Tody-tyrant primarily consumes insects, often foraging alone in forest understorey and mid-levels, particularly in dense vine tangles, typically at heights of 2-5 meters. It employs short upward strikes to glean prey from the undersides of leaves.
Habitat
The buff-breasted Tody-tyrant typically resides in semi-humid highland forests and shrubby second-growth forests. This species favors the forested slopes of isolated ridges in broader tropical regions. Generally, these birds inhabit areas where the forest offers a mix of mature trees and regrowth, providing varied vegetation structure crucial for their survival.
