Feeding Habits
Yellow-rumped Tinkerbird favors fruit, particularly mistletoe berries, and an array of other genera. It also consumes insects like termites and moths. Their distinctive feeding includes discarding the epicarp of berries and engaging in courtship feeding. Yellow-rumped Tinkerbird forages via gleaning or flycatching and defends fruiting trees solitarily.
Habitat
Yellow-rumped Tinkerbird thrives in forested environments ranging from highland to lowland regions, especially at forest edges and clearings. It is well adapted to various woodland types, including riverine forests, sections of dry forests, and agricultural tree plantations like coffee. This species also inhabits human-modified landscapes such as gardens and tolerates a mix of indigenous and primary forest fragments. Its broad distribution covers the forest zones of Central, West, and Eastern Africa.
