Distribution
Distribution in the Americas
Green Honeycreepers occur from southern Mexico to south to northwestern Peru, central Bolivia, and southeast Brazil, from sea level to 1400 m (Stiles and Skutch 1989, Isler and Isler 1999). Generally found at lower elevations, Green Honeycreepers can be found as high as 1600 m in Bolivia and 2300 m in Colombia (Isler and Isler 1999). They are common from the tropical zone to 1,100 m in Ecuador and to 1,400 m in Venezuela (Restall et al. 2007).

Habitat
The Green Honeycreeper is found mostly in the canopy of humid forests, forest borders, and second growth forests with large trees in lowlands and foothills (Davis 1972, Hilty and Brown 1986). Preference of trees is generally for those with fruits and flowers, which it uses as a source for food (Isler and Isler 1999).
