* Insects: A wide variety of insects, including beetles, grasshoppers, termites, caterpillars, and ants.
* Seeds: They will also eat seeds, especially during the dry season when insects are scarce.
* Fruits: Occasionally, they may eat soft fruits.
They are opportunistic feeders, meaning they will eat whatever is readily available. They have a strong beak adapted for picking up and cracking open insects.
Interestingly, unlike most birds, they don't drink water! They get their hydration from the insects they eat.
