Ptilopachus petrosus usually lives in pairs or small groups of up to four quails and feeds on grass and herb seeds, green leaves, fruits and buds, and some insects.
In captivity they are monogamous, but in the wild they are mostly monogamous. The eggs are pale pink, faded to cream, and the whole of the subadult bird is dark chocolate brown, and the feathers mature into adult feathers after a few weeks. The male birds play an important role in the incubation and rearing of the chicks, guarding them and providing food to the subadult birds, and when they get insects or seeds, they drop them and call the chicks to come for food.
Listed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) 2016 Red List of Threatened Species ver 3.1 - Not Threatened (LC).
