Description
Habitat
Biome: Terrestrial
Ecology: It is most common in patches of tall forest
, and present in low numbers around dwellings and in scrubland, being absent from cliffs
and patches of open ground5. It is insectivorous
, rarely foraging
at ground-level perhaps because of the presence of cats and humans. It appears to breed
only in pairs, unlike Henderson Reed-warbler A. taiti which forms breeding groups, possibly related to the greater disturbance
and consequent year-to-year instability of the habitat
on Pitcairn3. However, more recently, breeding in groups has been noted2.[1]
