What does an eastern phoebe eat?

The eastern phoebe primarily feeds on insects, making it an insectivorous bird. Its diet includes a variety of flying insects such as flies, moths, and wasps, as well as beetles and other invertebrates. In addition to insects, they may also consume some berries and fruits, especially during the fall and winter months when insects are less abundant. Eastern phoebes often catch their prey in mid-air or hunt from a perch.
