It lives mainly on nectar from flowers, but takes some fruit, and, especially when feeding young, insects and spiders. It can take nectar by hovering like a hummingbird, but usually perches to feed most of the time. With a carmine-colored throat instead of blue, it is closely related to the southern carmine bee-eater.
