I like the coloration and skin patterns, and their interactions with herders should prove fuel for potential evolutions.

"to help hide in the forest floor;" That suggests intention, which is discouraged.
I see it has a very broad diet. Does it have particular preferences, overall, by season, or by life stage? At least some herbivorous birds have strongly insect-loving nestlings.

What do you suggest I change it to?

"which helps it hide" is the easiest solution.
Did you want to elaborate on its dietary preferences? It might help to know how strongly herbivorous it is.

"For those living in heavily wooded areas, they take on different shades of dark blue and indigo to help hide in the forest floor; while those living in scrublands have a golden color along with purple spots to help keep it hidden against the golden dirt and purple flora."

You could perhaps change "to help hide in the forest floor" to "which provides camouflage amongst the forest underbrush;"

Updated.

I'll be honest, I had the impression that the diet listed made it relatively clear that it's diet was 50/50 like the Flutuga. I even counted how many floral vs faunal organisms there were.
