Diet and Foraging
Diet
The primary food items for the White-whiskered Puffbird are large orthopterans (generally locusts), moths, spiders, and lizards. There also are reports of the species catching and consuming snakes, including poisonous coral snakes (Smith 1969). The species has also been recorded following army ants in order to feed on insects the armies flush (Willis 1982).
