Description
Habitat
Biome: Terrestrial
Ecology: It prefers dense cover
near the ground
, particularly around the shrubs
Chenopodium oahuense and Sida fallax. It feeds
on insects and larvae, especially moths and caterpillars. Pairs show year-to-year fidelity in specific territories, with nesting occurring from at least January to September, but possibly throughout the year. Nests
are located in dense shrubs (mainly C.
oahuense) and two eggs
are generally laid2.[1]
