Natural History Notes: The Double-toothed kite will mostly hunts for lezards and large insects in the canopy and at middle levels. They will also often be found with monkey groups as a hunting strategy: it is easier for them to hunt the preys that are disturbed by monkeys, since they will move and be more easily detected.

This kite bird has a green-yellow cere (base of the bill), the iris red colored and yellow legs.
