Grey-capped Greenfinch forages primarily on the ground, showing a preference for varied seed types and occasional protein from invertebrates.
Habitat
Grey-capped Greenfinch typically inhabits a variety of wooded environments including lowland and lower montane broadleaf and conifer forests, often frequenting secondary woodlands and river valleys.
