===Feeding=== Manakins feed in the understory on small [[fruit]] (but often remarkably large for the size of the bird<ref name=HBW/>) including [[Berry|berries]], and to a lesser degree, insects. Since they take fruit in flight as other species "[[hawking (birds)|hawk]]" for insects, they are believed to have evolved from insect-eating birds. Females have big territories from which they do not necessarily exclude other birds of their species, instead feeding somewhat socially. Males spend much of their time together at courtship sites. Manakins sometimes join [[mixed-species feeding flock|mixed feeding flocks]].<ref name=P&S/>
