Grey-capped Greenfinch forages primarily on the ground, showing a preference for varied seed types and occasional protein from invertebrates.

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. They are found in regions with trees and bushes, hedgerows, and riverbanks, thriving in areas up to approximately 2400 meters in elevation.
