It can be found both in mature and secondary forest, but in the latter it only occurs when adjacent to mature rainforest (Maxwell et al. 1996). The species is semi-arboreal and insectivorous, nesting in hollows.

Range:
This species is known from the east coast of the Cape York Peninsula of Queensland, Australia, occurring from the McIlwraith Range to the Iron Range (Maxwell et al. 1996, Leung 2008). The elevational range is sea level to 800 m.

Conservation:
The species is present in protected areas, including the Iron Range National Park; there are negotiations underway to declare additional national parks in the McIlwraith area.
