Resumo: The Horned Sungem Hummingbird (Heliactin bilophus) is a typical savannah hummingbird inhabiting opened phytophysiognomies in areas of Cerrado, Caatinga, highlands and plains with low vegetation.  There are few studies about its feeding habits and little known about its behavior patterns. Here we report the bird feed behavior on two plant species Amphilophium elongatum and Sinningia sp. Trough illegitimate visits to the floral nectary, H. bilophus obtained food acting as a nectar robber. This foraging strategy included new sources of food for the hummingbird and could represent negative effects to the related plant species.Keywords: bird-flower interactions; food resources; floral visitor.

Aqui relatamos o comportamento alimentar da ave em duas espécies vegetais Amphilophium elongatum e Sinningia sp. Através de visitas ilegítimas ao nectário floral, H. bilophus obteve alimento atuando como pilhador. Esta estratégia de forrageamento inclui novas fontes alimentares para H. bilophus e pode representar efeitos negativos para as espécies vegetais relacionadas.Palavras-chave: interação ave-flor, recurso alimentar, visitante floral.Universidade Federal do AmapáVitorino, Breno DiasFrota, Angélica Vilas Boas daAndrade, Aldes Lamounier Pereira2016-12-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unifap.br/index.php/biota/article/view/270010.18561/2179-5746/biotaamazonia.v6n4p104-106Biota Amazônia (Biote Amazonie, Biota Amazonia, Amazonian Biota); v. 6, n. 4 (2016); 104-1062179-5746reponame:Biota Amazôniainstname:Universidade Federal do Amapá (UNIFAP)instacron:UNIFAPenghttps://periodicos.unifap.br/index.php/biota/article/view/2700/v6n4p104-106.pdfCerrado, BrasilDireitos autorais 2016 Biota Amazônia (Biote Amazonie, Biota Amazonia, Amazonian Biota)http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2017-01-02T18:53:35Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/2700Revistahttp://periodicos.unifap.br/index.php/biotaONGhttps://periodicos.unifap.br/index.php/biota/oai||juliosa@unifap.br2179-57462179-5746opendoar:2017-01-02T18:53:35Biota Amazônia - Universidade Federal do Amapá (UNIFAP)false
