The noisy miner primarily inhabits dry, open eucalypt forest without understory shrubs. It is found in the understorey of open eucalypt forests on dry, shallow soils. They are also the typical soils of eucalypt forests and heathlands in southern Australia. It occupies dry eucalypt forest, woodland, city parks and gardens. About three-quarters of Australian forests are eucalypt forests. This quoll species is most abundant in rocky ranges and open eucalypt forest. Progressing inland give way to eucalypt woodlands. In Australia, it resides in mainly eucalypt forests. They are covered mainly with eucalypt forest on a gently sloping lateritic plateau. Management immediately commenced reforestation, including 44,000 eucalypt trees for koalas. This may be because Australia has more fragmented eucalypt forests and more predators. Much of the old growth eucalypt forest in Australia is designated for conservation. Consequently, dense eucalypt plantings may be subject to catastrophic firestorms. They nest in a hollow in a eucalypt or desert oak. The diet consists mainly of eucalypt flowers, fruits, nectar and pollen.
