Tenerife Robin is common in different types of woodland (laurel forest, humid Canary Pine forest and dry, transitional forest between succulent scrub vegetation and laurel forest); it is present also in cultivations. In the Canary Islands there are other Robins, the nominal or typical subspecies (Erithacus rubecula rubecula) on El Hierro, La Palma and La Gomera and E. r. marionae (= E. superbus marionae), recently described and endemic to Gran Canaria Island.
