Red-fronts live in small flocks of up to 80 but are more commonly seen in much smaller groups. The food they eat includes cactus fruit, fruits from trees and bushes, and seeds. In areas when there is farming they will also take advantage of the available crops of corn and peanuts. Breeding takes place in the month of October, which is spring in the southern hemisphere. Nests are built in crevices in the steep cliffs that surround the river valleys that they inhabit.
Clutches are usually three eggs.
The average incubation time is 26 days. Sydney's Birds .
