Habitat
The speckle-chested Piculet typically inhabits humid montane forests, which may include areas where the forest is regenerating and at the edges where mature woodland meets secondary growth. These environments are characterized by moisture-laden air and richly vegetated landscapes that support the speckle-chested Piculet's ecological requirements.

General Info

Feeding Habits

Bird food type

Distribution Area

The speckle-chested piculet is endemic to Peru. It has a rather limited range, being only known from the central Huallaga Valley and certain parts of the Utcubamba Valley in the foothills of the eastern Andes in Peru. Its altitudinal range is between about 1,100 and 2,200 m (3,600 and 7,200 ft). Its main habitat is primary moist lowland forest and moist montane forest with vines, epiphytes and bamboos, but it also occurs in secondary growth forests, and thickets in cultivated areas.

Species Status

P. steindachneri has a small and restricted range. It is generally uncommon, and the total number of mature adults is estimated to be between 6,000 and 15,000 birds; the population is predicted to decline by 50% or more over the next three generations as the natural forest within its range is cleared through logging, to make way for agriculture, coffee plantations and grazing land. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being endangered. It is an inconspicuous bird, and it is possible that further, unknown populations may exist in remote forests in the area.
