Feeding Habits
Trumpet Manucode primarily eats fruits and arthropods. It forages in the canopy, using its specialized beak to access food, often feeding during the day. It has evolved particular dietary preferences that distinguish it within its habitat.
Habitat
The trumpet Manucode predominantly occupies the lush interiors of lowland to mid-montane rainforests and hill forests. This species shows a strong preference for the dense canopy cover and high humidity characteristic of primary forest environments across broader New Guinea and certain adjacent regions. While primarily tied to the heart of the rainforest ecosystem, occasional sightings occur at the forest edge, secondary growth areas, and lowland mangroves, as well as on small offshore islands.
