The Pretty Faced Wallaby or Notamacropus parryi is a sociable species, sometimes coming together in mobs of up to 50. They live in a home range of up to 110 hectares.

They usually gather in the afternoon during feeding. The mobs contain all ages and sexes throughout the year, but seldom if ever were all members together at one time.
