Feeding Habits
Green Oropendola consumes insects like grasshoppers, bugs, beetles, caterpillars, and spiders. With little detail on fruit and nectar intake, green Oropendola forages for food in groups, typically high in the forest canopy, showcasing social feeding behavior.
Habitat
The green Oropendola thrives in tall, humid forests, predominantly in pristine primary forest environments. These birds are typically associated with a variety of lush, wet forest types, from the seasonally flooded várzea and ribbon-like gallery forests to the denser, foliage-rich lower montane forests. While they show a preference for undisturbed habitats, they are occasionally encountered in less pristine, disrupted forest areas across broader tropical regions.
Dite type
Frugivorous
