These arboreal bellbirds feeds entirely on fruit and berries, mainly taken on the wing.
Lauraceae and Burseraceae are particularly favoured, and the young are fed regurgitated Lauraceae by the female.

The flimsy nest of twigs is built by the female and usually placed in the outer branches of a tree.
The nests are not located in the jungle, but in free-standing trees in semi-cleared areas, probably to reduce the risk from the many effective predators of nests in the jungle such as monkeys, toucans and snakes.

The single brown-mottled, light tan egg is incubated entirely by the female, leaving the polygamous male free to spend much of his time advertising with his distinctive songs.
Laying season varies over its range; April-Nov in Trinidad and May-Sep in N. Venezuela.
The first recorded egg was discovered near Cumaca, Trinidad, in the mid-1950s.
