Grey-headed Swamphens are highly adaptable birds, often seen foraging in shallow water or walking on floating vegetation in search of food. They are omnivorous, feeding on a variety of prey, including insects, small fish, amphibians, crustaceans, and plant matter. They use their long toes to grasp food items and their strong bills to crush shells and tear apart plant material.
