Size
16 cm
Feeding Habits
Whiskered Wren forages in pairs from ground level up to 12 meters, predominantly in Heliconia thickets. Specific diet details are not documented, necessitating further research to determine precise food preferences and dietary adaptations.
Habitat
Whiskered Wren occupies habitats with dense undergrowth typically found along the edges of humid forests and in areas of regrowth within forest clearings. The species favors environments that are not deep within unspoiled forest interiors but rather those undergoing some level of natural regeneration.
