In the Canopy, they eat flower nectar, fruit and insects and spiders; lizards, frogs and insects in amongst the tree trunks vines, creepers and small trees and bushes of the lower storey. The Ground Litter is rich in small crawling creatures, including worms, snails, insects and centipedes.

The birds take great care in selecting their nest sites and in concealing their nests because predators roam the forest day and night, and possums, snakes, quolls and lizards take many eggs and nestlings.
