Feeding Habits
Gilt-edged Tanager's diet comprises fruits like melastome berries and Urtica, as well as insects. Pairs or small groups team up in mixed flocks to forage from mid-forest to canopy, favoring fruiting shrub edges. They hunt insects by hopping on twigs and inspecting foliage, resembling other SE Brazil forest-dwelling congeners.
Habitat
The gilt-edged Tanager is typically found in humid pre-montane forests and their borders, with a preference for primary woodland. It also inhabits secondary growth woodlands and overgrown areas that were previously cleared. This species generally occupies regions characterized by high humidity and dense vegetative growth.
