Description

Habitat

Ecology: It feeds in the canopy of remote lower and upper montane rainforest, preferring steep, hilly areas with numerous streams , sparse ground-cover, a closed canopy and abundant lianas and epiphytes2, and is known from elevations of 10-900 m2. It is known from secondary vegetation and cultivated land near to primary forest , and formerly occurred in semi-evergreen forest1,2; it seems to tolerate humans as long as canopy trees are available and it is not hunted2. Very little is known about its breeding, but breeding seems to take place in most months and two eggs are laid. It feeds mainly on fruits, but also eats flowers and leaves2.
