Ecology and Behavior
Amani Sunbirds are primarily found in pairs, with only male individuals having been observed alone. They occur at 20 to 30 m in the sub-canopy and canopy of mature trees within intact submontane forest, but have also been found at 1 to 6 m in heavily degraded forest (1) and at forest edges (2).

The species is mainly nectivorous, but is also capable of gleaning for insects by probing under leaves or amongst lichens and mosses. Amani Sunbirds frequently forage alongside Yellow White-Eye and Collared Sunbirds, and will occasionally feed together with mixed-species flocks, including Grey Cuckooshrike, Olive Sunbird, Olive Woodpecker, Shelley's Greenbul, Square-tailed Drongo, Tiny Greenbul, and White-tailed Crested Flycatcher. Aggressive interactions between this species and Collared Sunbirds suggest competition as one possible cause for the restricted distribution of Amani Sunbirds (1).
