Secondary Growth

In the Distribution and Habitat section, the article states "It inhabits forests, secondary growth, and forest edge". Should secondary growth refer to secondary growth forests? The current wikilink refers to the process as it pertains to a given plant and doesn't strictly make sense in the context of the sentence. grungaloo (talk) 02:35, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
