Brown Falcon primarily consumes small mammals, young rabbits, small birds, lizards, snakes, caterpillars, grasshoppers, crickets, and beetles. They forage on the ground, especially in winter, when insects comprise most of their diet, displaying unique ground-chasing feeding behavior.

Brown Falcon occupies a diverse range of habitats, primarily avoiding only dense rainforest and thick eucalyptus groves. These birds are frequent inhabitants of open woodlands, savannas, grasslands, agricultural lands, and deserts.
