在澳大利亚昆士兰州东南部研究了野生和圈养灰冠巴布勒的社会系统。根据虹膜颜色来区分三种年龄，根据羽毛的不同来区分第四种年龄。成年鸟可以通过喙的长度来确定性别。在一个种群中，雄性与雌性的比例与统一体没有显著差异。该物种发生在定居的领土群体中，每个群体通常包含一对繁殖的鸟类和一些非繁殖的鸟类。非繁殖成员不分年龄，而且大多是繁殖对前一代的后代。群体以紧密结合的单位移动，许多行为都是为了群体的凝聚力。描述了行为模式和呼叫。群体有强烈的领土意识，花很多时间与邻近群体发生争端。家庭范围的大小与群体的大小不直接相关。一个群体的所有成员都合作建造和照顾孩子，但只有有繁殖能力的雌性才孵蛋和产卵。个体访巢和喂养幼鸟的参与程度通常与它在群体中的年龄和地位相对应。
The social system of wild and captive gray-crowned Babblers P. temporalis was studied in southeastern Queensland [Australia]. Three classes of age were distinguished on iris color and a 4th by difference in plumage. Adult birds could be sexed by bill length. The ratio of males to females in a population did not differ significantly from unity. The species occurred in sedentary territorial groups, each of which usually contained a single breeding pair and a number of nonbreeding birds. Nonbreeding members were of all ages and mostly the offspring of previous broods of the breeding pair. Groups moved as closely knit units and much behavior was directed towards cohesion of the group. Patterns of behavior and calls are described. Groups were strongly territorial and spent much time in disputes with neighboring groups. Size of home range did not directly correlate with size of group. All members of a group cooperate in building and care of the young, but only the breeding female incubates and broods. The degree of participation of an individual in visiting nests and feeding young usually corresponds with its age and status within the group.
