Feeding Habits
Lemon-bellied Flyrobin primarily feeds on insects, capturing prey among foliage or on dead branches, seldom on the ground. It employs hawking and sallying foraging methods, occasionally taking large insects over 2 centimeters long, exemplifying its adept insectivorous diet.
Habitat
Lemon-bellied Flyrobin predominantly resides in diverse woodland environments, particularly favoring eucalypt savannas, open woodlands, and mangrove ecosystems. Often found at lower altitudes, these birds occupy both lowland and hill regions up to approximately 670 meters, and in some cases inhabit upland valleys reaching 1100 meters. Lemon-bellied Flyrobin is also known to adapt to human-modified landscapes, including rubber plantations. Its preference extends to monsoon forests and paperbark swamp forests, illustrating a versatile adaptation to various woodland habitats within broad tropical and subtropical regions.
