Habitat
The azure-crested Flycatcher typically resides in mature forests located within hilly and mountainous terrains, favoring environments that are less disturbed and show minimal signs of regrowth. Preferred habitats are denser forests, especially when compared to those occupied by the closely related species M. vanikorensis, which tend to live in less dense forest areas.
