Chestnut-headed Sparrow-lark mostly feed on grass seeds, with chicks receiving insects as well. They forage on the ground, often in flocks up to 40, occasionally with other species. Unique foraging flocks distinguish their feeding behavior.

The chestnut-headed Sparrow-lark typically resides in semi-arid to arid environments including expansive plains, grasslands, savannas, and clearings within open woodlands. These regions are characterized by modest annual rainfall, ranging from 75 to 500 millimeters, indicative of the bird's preference for drier habitats with sparse vegetation.
