Being arboreal, these birds spend most of their ᴛι̇ɱe foraging in eucalyptus trees. They use their ‘scoop-shaped’ bill to glean insects and lerps (exudates of psyllids) from leaf surfaces. They will also dine on insects such as beetles, gum leaf beetle (Paropsis species), flies, mosquitoes, flowerflies, leafhoppers, shield bugs, psyllids, bees, ants, wasps, and vegetable matter.
Red-browed pardalote breed between July and December and after rainfall in more arid areas. Monogamous pairs maintain a breeding territory when both the male and female build a tunnel 6-122 cm long ending in a nesting chamber 10-12.7 cm deep, and 6.3 to 10 cm wide. This nest can be found in sandy banks, gullies, cuttings, sand dunes, and or sand cliffs. They may also nest in tree hollows, spouts, or hollow branches using strips of bark and horsehair, lining the interior with fine grass or bark, shaped into a rounded cup within the chamber. Up to four white eggs are laid within and incubated by both sexes who will both subsequently feed the chicks once they hatch.
This bird has been categorized as of least concern on the IUCN Red Least with its population thought to be stable.
