Feeding Habits
Band-tailed Manakin primarily consume small fruits, such as Melastomataceae and Rubiaceae, and insects, plucking or snatching them from vegetation or in flight. They sometimes follow army ants to catch prey disturbed by the ants' movement.
Habitat
Band-tailed Manakin predominantly inhabits seasonally flooded lowland forests, known as várzea, and gallery forests. This species is adapted to regions characterized by dense vegetation and a significant presence of trees, where it thrives in the undergrowth of these forests. The general environmental conditions of their habitat include tropical climates with a high level of biodiversity and dynamic water systems that seasonally inundate the forest floor.
