Feeding Habits

Habitat
Pacific Flatbill typically inhabits the lower stratum of humid lowland forests and mature secondary woodlands. This species thrives in regions characterized by dense foliage, which provides both shelter and feeding opportunities. Pacific Flatbill favors environments that boast a rich biodiversity of insects due to their insectivorous feeding habits. It is mainly found in areas typified by tropical climate conditions.
