It inhabits mountainous broad-leaved forests, mixed forests, thickets and bamboo forests in the low hills below 1000 meters above sea level, especially in the wet and gloomy jungle near streams. It is often active in the dense undergrowth of plants or brush areas on the edge of forests.

There are two subspecies of White-browed Hill Partridge.

The white-fronted arboridge lives in trees at night. hu-u-u, a long, plaintive two-tone whistle. Frightened after flying fast, but the flight distance is not large, fly not far that fall into the underbrush or grass.

Arborophila mainly feeds on fruits and seeds of plants such as acorns and berries. Also eats insects and other small spineless thrusters. Seeds and fruits of wild plants eaten during autumn and winter festivals (e.g. red cones; Caslanopsis hystrix; Toxicodendron sylvestre; A surname Lindera stryni et al.) accounted for 97.37%.  

The breeding period of Arborophila albofrontalis is April to May. It builds its nest in a low-lying place in the deciduous layer under the forest, and makes a dish nest with hay in the grass on the ground. It lays 5-7 eggs in a full nest. The eggs are white and pale brown, and are pear shaped.

On the morning of February 23, 2010, the staff of Jiulong Mountain Reserve in Suichang County found an unknown pheasant moving slowly on the side of the mountain while patrolling the mountain near Yanping protection point. The staff of the reserve immediately took it to the protection point for rescue. Upon closer examination, no injuries or other symptoms were found, and the bird's condition was presumed to be due to severe foraging difficulties caused by the frost damage. After careful care by the staff of the reserve, he has recovered and been returned to nature. It was confirmed that the white-fronted arborophila was found for the first time in the Kowloon Mountain Reserve. This discovery is of great academic significance to the study of biodiversity in Kowloon Shan.
