The Hooded Wheatear is primarily found in rocky habitats, including foothills, cliffs, and arid scrublands, especially in regions like Balochistan, Punjab, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. It prefers areas with sparse vegetation and rocky outcrops.
Hooded Wheatears are solitary birds known for their ground-dwelling behavior. They forage for insects, spiders, and other small invertebrates on the ground, often perching on rocks or low bushes to survey their surroundings. During breeding season, males may engage in courtship displays, including song flights and territorial behaviors. They typically breed in rocky crevices or holes in cliffs.
