Behaviour

  • Bogwings were typically very territorial
  • Both subspecies of bogwings feed on small creatures dwelling in the canopy, but the greater bogwing fed in the upper levels, while the lesser bogwing fed on the lower levels where it avoided larger predators. 
  • Ironically, the greater bogwing often targeted the nests of Accipipteros, their own primary predator, for their prey.
