Feeding Habits
Long-tailed Honey-buzzard consumes a varied diet, primarily insects such as wasps and their larvae, ants, and grasshoppers, as well as arboreal lizards, small birds, nest contents, and small mammals. Long-tailed Honey-buzzard forages using a distinctive low and slow flight near the forest canopy or between trees, hawk-like in open areas, or perching in forests. Utilizing its feet, long-tailed Honey-buzzard skillfully extracts wasp larvae from nests and captures flying insects and ground prey.
Habitat
The long-tailed Honey-buzzard typically inhabits tropical rainforests, edges of forests, and nearby clearings. It adapts to environments that offer a dense canopy and is often observed soaring above the forest terrain or patrolling open areas beneath the forest canopy. It also selects forested areas for nesting.
