Feeding Habits
Sibilant Sirystes primarily consumes large insects and fruits. It forages in the forest canopy, often leading mixed-species flocks, gleaning from treetops and hover-striking vegetation for prey. Shows unique forward-leaning posture and head nodding behaviors during feeding.
Habitat
The sibilant Sirystes typically resides in the dense canopy layers of forests and mature secondary woodlands. Its preferred environments encompass a variety of forest types, such as cerradão (dense tropical savanna woodland), riparian forests adjacent to water bodies, and arid or dry forest areas. The species is known for requiring larger territories for its survival relative to other tyrant flycatcher birds, indicating a need for expansive, contiguous habitats.
