Found in humid forest canopy and forest edges from Colombia and Venezuela south to Bolivia and Brazil. They inhabit the treetop foliage foraging for fruit, berries, and small insects, often joining mixed-species feeding flocks. They are important seed dispersers for small-fruited trees in Amazonian and Atlantic Forest ecosystems.
