Description
The Peruvian tyrannulet (Zimmerius viridiflavus) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. As traditionally defined, it is endemic to Peru, but recent genetic evidence suggests it should include the taxon flavidifrons as a subspecies, in which case the range of the Peruvian tyrannulet extends into far southern Ecuador. Alternatively, flavidifrons is sometimes considered a separate species, the Loja tyrannulet, but it is not closely related to the golden-faced tyrannulet as previously believed. The natural habitat of the Peruvian tyrannulet is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.

Feeding Habits
Peruvian Tyrannulet subsists on insects, mistletoe berries, and similar small fruits. Typically forages alone or in pairs, joining mixed-species flocks in the canopy, agilely hopping and flitting among outer leaves. Utilizes perch-gleaning and sally-gleaning to obtain food, often with a distinctively raised tail.
Habitat
The peruvian Tyrannulet typically dwells in the lush habitats of humid montane forests and their edges. This species shows adaptability by also occupying areas of secondary growth vegetation, where it can find the necessary resources for survival. It is broadly found in regions featuring these moist highland forests that provide the environmental conditions it requires, without specifying elevation ranges.
