Social and interspecific behavior
Shining Honeycreepers typically forage in pairs or, less commonly, in small groups (families?). They frequently associate with canopy mixed-species flocks, although they also may travel apart from other species (Stiles and Skutch 1989, Ridgely and Gwynne 1989).
To some extent aggressive; often displaces the larger Red-legged Honeycreepers (Cyanerpes cyaneus) from food sources and at times the two species battle physically (Skutch 1972). Displays aggression by spreading wings or by showing yellow legs (Skutch 1972).
