They will usually be found alone or in pairs, but can sometimes form small flocks. They are often difficult to spot, as the olive-green colour blends in well with the surroundings.

They build a cup shaped nest from bark strips and vines, usually between a couple of branches or in a fork, high in the canopy.

They breed during the wet season (October to March) and usually lay 2 eggs.
