Feeding Habits
Slaty Monarch primarily feeds on insects and occasionally eats fruit. It forages in mixed-species flocks, targeting subcanopy and middle strata. It catches insects mid-flight and gleans from surfaces, with distinctive tail cocking and wing drooping behaviors.
Habitat
The slaty Monarch typically resides in forested areas, which can include well-wooded parks and gardens. It has a preference for various types of woodlands, ranging from lowland forests to those found in more elevated regions. On smaller islands, the slaty Monarch can be observed in relatively open spaces and is often encountered in proximity to human settlements such as villages.
