===Feeding=== The flamecrest is primarily an [[insectivore]]. The birds may be seen feeding on [[insect]]s and their larvae on the branches and leaf sheathes of trees in coniferous forests, hovering and [[gleaning]] from leaf to stem. Weeds and berries may be taken occasionally. A study of the [[foraging]] ecology of alpine forest birds on [[Pinophyta|conifers]] in the [[Taroko National Park]] found that, when compared with [[Eurasian nuthatch]]es, [[coal tit]]s, [[green-backed tit]]s and [[black-throated tit]]s, flamecrests were the most generalised foragers, utilising almost all of the [[crown (botany)|crown]] of a tree, rather than specialising in parts of it as with the other species, with which it associates in [[mixed-species foraging flock]]s during the non-breeding season.<ref>{{cite journal |author1=Chen Chao-Chieh |author2=Wang Ying |year=2008 |title=Spatial Use of Conifers by Five Alpine Forest Birds in Taroko National Park, Taiwan |journal=ηΉζηη©η η©Ά |volume=10 |issue=2 |pages=1β12 |url=http://tesri.coa.gov.tw/files/tesri_protect/176/08791261_pdf.pdf |access-date=2 December 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110830165604/http://tesri.coa.gov.tw/files/tesri_protect/176/08791261_pdf.pdf |archive-date=30 August 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
