Feeding Habits
White-banded Tyrannulet primarily consumes insects and occasionally small fruits. They forage actively in pairs or small groups, often joining mixed-species flocks. Their foraging behavior includes parulid-like flits, perch-gleaning, and hover-gleaning, sometimes adopting a tit-like posture to glean from foliage.
Habitat
The white-banded Tyrannulet occupies humid montane evergreen forests, predominantly within mossy cloudforests and stunted elfin forests. It is also known to inhabit thickets of alder near landslide areas and temperate brushlands close to the tree-line. These environments are characterized by a high level of humidity and dense vegetation cover, offering ample foraging opportunities and shelter.
