Feeding Habits
Many-spotted Hummingbird primarily feeds on nectar from diverse plants such as Palicoura, Centropogon, and Pitcairnia. They also catch insects mid-air by hawking, typically over streams or clearings. While generally solitary, many-spotted Hummingbird may gather at artificial feeders.
Habitat
Many-spotted Hummingbird inhabits humid foothills and lower subtropical forest environments. These habitats typically include forest edges, particularly alongside small ravines within the Andean foothills. Many-spotted Hummingbird is adapted to foraging within the understory, preferring the lower to mid-strata of dense vegetation, and generally manifests a propensity to dwell inside the forest rather than at the periphery.
