Black-faced dacnis are able to flourish in the verdant woods of the Amazon and Chocó-Magdalena, particularly in regions that are prone to being damp, flooded, or swampy. However, they also enjoy eating luscious fruits in addition to the insects, seeds, and berries that make up the majority of their diet. In order to satiate their desires, they make a concerted effort to locate the highest levels of the towering trees, which often reach heights of between ten and fifty meters above the ground. On occasion, however, they gently descend to the ground in order to harvest juicy fruits from branches of neighboring shrubs.

While the male and the female are engaged in the process of constructing their nest, the nest is actively constructed by both of them. It is the job of the female to lay between three and five eggs, which she is solely responsible for during the period of incubation. The male is responsible for ensuring that the female’s requirements are well met. After the chicks have hatched, both of the parents will take turns feeding them until they are able to fly on their own.

As a result of the fact that it inhabits a vast range, this particular species of bird does not exhibit any indications of population loss, as stated by the IUCN Red List. Therefore, it does not fulfill the requirements for a population that is diminishing.
