The species has a loud, cackling cuyy-cuyy voice when flushed. It frequently feeds on tuber crops, especially potatoes. Eggs and chicks have been collected in April and May and
October. The male incubates the eggs and raises the chicks. The nest is located on the ground.
435:. Their survival is threatened by degrading of its habitats caused by human activities, such as frequent burning of grassland, and cutting, burning and livestock-grazing in high-altitude copses and shrubby patches. The species is also hunted by people for food.
267:. Unlike other ratites, tinamous can fly, although in general, they are not strong fliers. All ratites evolved from prehistoric flying birds, and tinamous are the closest living relative of these birds.

Taczanowski's tinamou inhabits high altitude grassland and shrubland at altitude 2,700 to 4,000 m (8,900–13,100 ft). It may also be found at pastureland and arable land.
