Introduction
Grass-green Tanagers are omnivorous. In one analysis of seven stomachs, three contained only vegetable matter, two only animal matter, and two with both (Isler and Isler 1987). Specific contents included fruit pulp, berries, seeds, a 40 mm worm, insect remains, and caterpillars (Isler and Isler 1987).
