Living in pairs or in small groups, white-throated forest partridges are wild birds that do not fly unless they are in danger, but if they feel in danger, most of the time, prefer to run away from each other rather than take a forceful flight. He usually crouches down and adopts a fixed posture. Rest on the ground. Their gait is very characteristic, slow, leg bent half, the body is low, but the top of the head is resolutely erect. The genus species is well suited to living in arid regions and seems to have little dependence on permanent ponds. At the beginning of the breeding season, males make loud calls and are more aggressive. It feeds on seeds and insects.

Listed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) 2016 Red List of Threatened Species ver 3.1 - Not Threatened (LC).
