Utterance of the black-nape entityra

Outside of the breeding season, they move through the bush landscape in smaller groups. They feed on berries and other fruits. They also catch insects that are flying in the air or crawling along the ground . To rest, they linger in caves in the tops of dead trees.

Reproduction

The black-naped entityra lives together in pairs for reproduction. Both partners build the nest together in the tree cavity at a height of 12 to 35 meters above the ground. The female lays 2 yellow-white eggs. Hatching takes 21 days and is handled by the female alone. The male, meanwhile, looks for enemies nearby and warns the female with his screams if there is danger. Both parent animals help feed the young. After 25 days the young leave the nest. There are several broods per year.
