An uncommon breeding resident of forests, wooded areas and adjoining well wooded home gardens from lowlands to mid hills of both wet and dry zones. It lives as pairs and feeds on ants, termites and such other insects found inside tree barks, usually of thinner branches at top of trees. While feeding it keeps calling to its mate every now and then in a tinkling trill contact call. Indian Pygmy Woodpecker breeds from February to July and lays two or three eggs in a tree hole hewn on the lower surface of a dead branch or stump, often one or two inches or so in diameter.
