Sturnira bidens is strongly associated with moist habitats and cloud forests (Gardner 2008). This species is strongly frugivorous, it possibly feeds on pollen and nectar. It is frequently recorded from mist-nets. A single young is born annually. In central Peru breeding occurs in July with pregnant females taken in August. A bimodal breeding pattern has been noted in Venezuela (Molinari and Soriano 1987). Ripe fruits are taken in season, and insects are rare to absent in the diet (Eisenberg 1989, Gardner 1977, Molinari and Soriano 1987). Eats fruit of Aracia (J. Molinari, pers. comm.).
