In the misty pine–oak forests of Central America, these sleek canopy gliders move through fruiting trees with quiet elegance. They feed on berries, small fruits, and insects, their silky plumage catching light as they slip between branches. What makes them extraordinary is their role as highland seed couriers — dispersing fruit across steep mountain slopes where regeneration depends on wings. Subtle in color yet fluid in motion, gentle weavers of cloud-forest life.
