Feeding Habits
Blue-headed Fantail predominantly consumes insects, which are caught during quick, darting flights. Blue-headed Fantail typically forages from the understorey up to 15 meters high and occasionally participates in mixed-species foraging flocks.
Habitat
Blue-headed Fantail is typically found in a variety of forested environments, including both primary forests, especially those dominated by oak and pine, and edges of forests. It also inhabits areas of heavily disturbed secondary growth, showing a particular affinity for certain coniferous forests in highland regions. The species is prevalent within lowland areas but is adaptable to various wooded landscapes.
