Barbara Brown's titi found between the Paraguaçu River (north) and Salvador (south), and west towards Mirorós. The estimated population is 260 individuals and is decreasing. The blond titi prefers habitats in caatinga a dry scrubland with preferences for dense arboreal caatinga. They do tend to be largely arboreal forest dwellers, and the blond titi monkey probably rarely descends to the ground. They are small in size and are agile primates, they are good climbers through the branches on all four limbs, using their rear limbs to jump long distances, grasping onto branches with leading forehands.

Ornate titi daily activity lasts for around 11.5 hours, with feeding taking up around 2.7 hours. Their day is typically split into two feeding sessions, one in the morning and one in the evening, with a resting session at around midday. The last few hours of the day are generally spent feeding on leaves. The predominant and most important predators of all titis are raptors. Several species of raptor have been observed attacking a titi, including the Guianan crested eagle ("Morphnus guianensis") and the Ornate hawk-eagle ("Spizaetus ornatus"). Tufted capuchins ("Cebus apella") have also been observed killing and consuming an ornate titi.
