Silver-breasted Silky-crowned Bird is a tropical forest bird that lives in tropical and subtropical mountain forests, mostly below 1,500 meters above sea level. It also lives on small trees or shrubs at the edge of the forest, by the stream, and sometimes on banyan trees and small trees near villages or in the field area.

Silver-breasted Broadbill, also known as Silver-breasted Broadbill, has 10 subspecies.

Silver-breasted Broadbill often moves in small groups, especially groups of 10-20 or more. They often move under the canopy. It likes to stay still, is not good at jumping and singing, and its singing sound is low and weak, like "chi...chi...". It is not very afraid of people, and is slow to react to gunshots. Sometimes it will not fly away even after multiple gunshots to collect specimens. It is a resident bird and does not migrate.

The Silver-breasted Silk-crowned Bird is a tropical forest bird that mainly feeds on insects, especially stink bugs, beetles, locusts, weevils, longhorn beetles and other insects of the Coleoptera, Orthoptera, and Hemiptera. It also has a high appearance rate. In addition, it eats spiders, small snails and other small invertebrates, and occasionally eats plant food such as fruits. It has a strong team spirit. When one bird is caught in a net, the rest of the birds will hover nearby, trying to rescue their companions, and the result is often that the entire flock of birds is captured.

Silver-breasted Silk-crowned Bird usually nests in low trees or shrubs by the stream in the forest. The nest is made of grass stems and thin grass leaves, with leaves or bamboo leaves as padding. The nest is bag-shaped with holes on the side, and is often suspended at the end of a twig. Each nest lays 4-5 eggs. The eggs are white with reddish-brown spots, especially at the blunt end. The male and female take turns incubating the eggs, and the chicks mature late.
