Feeding Habits
Regent Whistler primarily feeds on insects, occasionally consuming seeds. Regent Whistler adapts its foraging approach with altitude, navigating lower to mid-storeys at lower altitudes and shifting to the canopy and all storeys at higher elevations. Regent Whistler gleans prey from inner to outer foliage across various branches.
Habitat
The regent Whistler is typically found in forested environments, favoring forest edges as its primary habitat. It thrives within the broader geographical region of montane forests, often making its home in areas where it coexists with closely related species, albeit at different elevational niches. There is a noted sexual niche partitioning within its habitat, with males foraging higher in the forest canopy compared to females.
