Feeding Habits
Mountain Leaf Warbler's diet mainly consists of ants and caterpillars. It forages alone or in flocks, targeting insects in foliage and epiphytes, and exhibits awkward hovering to feed at the outer leaves.
Habitat
The mountain Leaf Warbler primarily thrives in broadleaf montane and submontane evergreen forests, including areas with casuarina trees, as well as secondary woodlands and forests across broader regions of Southeast Asia. These habitats are characterized by a dense canopy of broadleaf trees, which provide the necessary cover and foraging opportunities for the mountain Leaf Warbler.
