It is a bird of dry and warm bushes (rockrose, mastic, wild olive trees or kermes oak). Also present in hedges, parks and gardens, and shrubby understories of pine and holm oak woods and grasslands.
Resident throughout the year in Malaga. The Sardinian Warbler starts breeding in March and finishes in July, making at least two annual layings of 3 to 6 eggs. It feeds on insects and complements its diet in autumn with seeds and fruits.

Its affinity for bushes and the fact that it usually appears among their leaves for brief moments and then disappears make it popularly known in Spanish as "cucamata", which stands for "sly bush".
