The white-winged chough will forage in litter and rotten wood for termites and beetles.
Although birds have eaten pieces of apple placed out for them on feeding tables, they have not been recorded eating fruit on trees.
This species has been observed eating cherry tomatoes, whole, in eastern Australian, Newcastle region.

The diet is varied, the white-winged chough eats seeds of various grasses (Poaceae), Gahnia grandis, Atriplex, Epacris, Hibbertia, Solanum, Acacia and Exocarpos species, as well as introduced species such as the cursed thistle (Cirsium arvense), roadside thistle (C. vulgare), winter honeysuckle (Lonicera fragrantissima), Convolvulus and Oxalis species.
Berries of the introduced Cotoneaster and Crataegus are also consumed.
It eats a wide variety of arthropods, including centipedes, millipedes and many types of insect—beetles, cockroaches, termites, grasshoppers and crickets, flies, butterflies and moths, and ants, bees and wasps.
In some areas, it will readily approach tourist sites to find supplementary food.
