The slaty robin is found in the highlands of New Guinea from altitudes of 900 to 2,750 m. Within the rainforest it is found in pairs in the understory or on the ground. It is insectivorous, and hunts by gleaning. It eats ants, beetles, and thyonnid wasps.Reproduction
The nest is a deep cup made of rootlets and lined with moss, and is generally placed in a tree fork around 6 m above the ground. One or two pale-greenish or olive eggs, splotched with olive or brown, are laid, and measure 23.5 mm x 17–19 mm.References:
