Feeding Habits
The moustached Woodcreeper primarily consumes insects, with a diet including insect larvae, ants, beetles, and snails. Typically foraging alone or in small groups, this species extracts prey from tree cavities, forages on the ground, or peels bark off trees to find food. A notable behavior is their specialization in foraging among bromeliads for sustenance.
Habitat
The habitat of moustached Woodcreeper encompasses a variety of wooded environments, including semi-deciduous woodland, wooded caatinga, palm woodland in certain regions, and gallery forests. These birds are predominantly found in the interior of both intact and slightly disturbed forests, typically seeking out the tallest and most expansive woodlands available. Moustached Woodcreeper also occasionally frequents forest edges if the surrounding habitat is suitable. Their preferred environments are often associated with specific tree species and are characteristic of mesic areas or 'monsoon' forests in regions that are otherwise arid.
