Feeding Habits
Blue-grey Tanager primarily feeds on a variety of fruits, complemented by arthropods and nectar. They forage both alone and in groups, often in the canopy. Unique preferences include certain fruit species, reflecting their specialized feeding habits.
Habitat
Blue-grey Tanager can be found in a wide variety of non-forest habitats, such as urban areas, parks, gardens, plantations, second-growth woodlands, and forest edges. It is also common in savannas with scattered trees, waste areas, and near bodies of water in both dry and humid regions. Adaptable to man-made environments, blue-grey Tanager readily nests and roosts in the crevices and beams of buildings. While generally avoiding arid regions, it extends from sea level to elevations of about 2700m, typically up to 1800m, occasionally reaching 2000m in certain areas like Peru's Urubamba Valley.
