Baird's Trogon primarily eats fruits and insects, including large caterpillars and green larvae. It hunts small lizards and stick-insects too, demonstrating a diverse diet. Its feeding behavior involves foraging for food to feed its young. Baird's Trogon exhibits specialized feeding adaptations, preferring certain prey types.
Habitat
Baird's Trogon predominantly inhabits the canopy layer of humid rainforests. This species is occasionally found at the forest edge, upper understory, and in shrubby undergrowth. They are also known to frequent adjacent tall second-growth areas and well-shaded semi-open woodlands, particularly when visiting fruiting trees and shrubs. Baird's Trogon can adapt to transitional zones between forests and tropical dry growth regions. Its habitat range extends from lowlands to foothills, typically up to 1200 meters in elevation.

Distribution Area
Baird's trogon is found in Costa Rica and far western Panama where its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. They are found in the canopy level of tall rainforests up to 1200 m elevation, where they feed on native fruits and hunt for insects and other small prey. They breed from April to August and build their nests in the decaying trunks of dead trees where they lay 2-3 eggs. Incubation takes 16–17 days and fledging takes about 25 days. It is threatened by habitat loss due to deforestation for timber and agriculture and its current status is near threatened.
