What it does
The olive-green tanager's diet is primarily insects, though it also eats fruit. It typically forages in flocks of its own species that may number up to 20 individuals but more usually have about eight. It feeds in the mid- to upper levels of the forest, usually picking prey from leaves, and it also sallies for flying insects.
