Feeding Habits
Collared Finchbill consumes both fruit and insects, including cicadas and berries. They perch on twigs and forage in flocks, retreating to dense cover if disturbed. Their feeding gatherings can number 20-30, often mingling with S. canifrons.
Habitat
The collared Finchbill predominantly occupies open woodlands, secondary growths, and scrub areas in mountainous regions. Its preferred environment includes brushy ravines and swordgrass-covered hillsides. While often inhabiting areas near human settlements and on the outskirts of larger towns, collared Finchbill has a preference for regions with dense vegetation providing ample cover.
