Green twinspot are either solitary or in small groups.

In St Lucia, they favour clearings in the forest with seeding grass but also spend a lot of time up in the canopy, feeding on small fruits and berries.

Typical seed-eaters, they also drink and bathe frequently- often in road puddles or water-filled tree cavities.

They are monogamous breeders and in breeding season they can often be seen collecting feathers to line their nests.

Their soft, high-pitched trilling and chirping calls are the most reliable way of locating these secretive forest birds.
