Feeding Habits
Black-backed Bush Tanager's diet consists of insects, small berries, and fruits. They forage in groups, often within mixed-species flocks, utilizing active perch-gleaning and probing dense foliage. Black-backed Bush Tanager exhibits unique behaviors, stretching to investigate leaves and occasionally hanging from branch tips to feed.
Habitat
The habitat of black-backed Bush Tanager typically encompasses dense wet forests, areas with considerable shrubbery, and stunted woodlands approaching the tree-line. These birds are most often associated with environments that contain an abundance of dense bushes, and are also found within wooded borders. Particularly favorable are regions where Polylepis-dominated woodlands occur. These habitats are characteristic of certain highland ecosystems in broader geographical regions along the Andean mountain range.
