Feeding Habits
Stripe-breasted Rhabdornis has a varied diet, consuming insects, seeds, fruits, and occasionally small amphibians. Stripe-breasted Rhabdornis forages mostly in upper and middle forest canopies, rarely on the ground, and joins mixed-species flocks. Stripe-breasted Rhabdornis displays agility while feeding, hopping and gleaning among foliage or aerial flycatching, particularly during insect emergences.
Habitat
Stripe-breasted Rhabdornis predominantly inhabits subtropical or tropical forest ecosystems, favoring the canopy layer of tall dipterocarp forests and areas where these forests transition into mid-mountain vegetative types. The species is also known to occupy forest edges, secondary growth forests, and will traverse open clearings to access isolated fruiting trees. It is generally found in mountainous areas, making its home in regions where these specific forest conditions are prevalent.
