Feeding Habits
Satin Flycatcher's primary diet consists of arthropods, supplementing occasionally with seeds. Exhibiting agility, satin Flycatcher forages solo or in pairs, engaging in aerial sallies from elevated perches and darting amidst foliage for prey, rarely feeding on the ground. Satin Flycatcher demonstrates a preference for upper forest layers.
Habitat
The habitat of satin Flycatcher typically includes tall, wet sclerophyll forests and native eucalypt woodlands, as well as densely vegetated gullies within these forests. These birds show a preference for moister and taller forests, often at higher elevations compared to similar species, though they can be found at sea-level in certain regions. During migration, satin Flycatcher may also inhabit more open landscapes, including drier woodlands, urban parks, gardens, and clearings near rainforests, despite generally avoiding rainforests as a primary habitat.
