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
Moustached Woodcreeper thrives in diverse wooded habitats, including semi-decidous and palm woodlands, wooded caatinga, and gallery forests. These birds favor the interiors of tall, extensive forests, whether pristine or lightly disturbed, but may also inhabit forest edges. Their habitats are typically mesic or 'monsoon' forests in predominantly arid areas, linked with specific tree species.
