Feeding Habits
White-winged Robin primarily feeds on insects, complementing its diet occasionally with fruits and seeds. It employs a mix of foraging techniques, predominantly striking (80%) and less so gleaning (20%), across the forest understorey and on the ground.
Habitat
White-winged Robin primarily inhabits moss forests and adjacent shrublands. The species thrives in a landscape characterized by dense vegetation and thick ground cover, which offers ample foraging opportunities and shelter. These birds are typically found in climates conducive to moss forest growth, which involves high humidity and moderate temperatures throughout the region. White-winged Robin transitions across different vegetation zones, although closely related species inhabit lower altitudinal ranges.
Dite type
Frugivorous
General Info
Behavior
Within the forest the robin is found in pairs or small troops of several birds in the understory or on the ground. It is insectivorous, but does also eat some seeds. The somewhat bulky cup-shaped nest is constructed in a tree fork.
Distribution Area
The white-winged robin is found in New Guinea. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is found in the highlands of New Guinea at elevations of 2,400 to 3,900 metres (7,900 to 12,800 ft) and is replaced by the slaty robin at lower elevations.
