Feeding Habits
Yellow-browed Sparrow primarily consumes seeds from native grasses and introduced plants, supplemented by insects and larvae. Yellow-browed Sparrow forages on the ground, displaying granivorous behavior with unique dietary preferences.
Habitat
The yellow-browed Sparrow primarily inhabits the lowland tropical grasslands, being particularly widespread throughout the Amazon biome. This species thrives in a variety of open habitats, from short to tall grasses, pastures, and roadside regions to open areas near villages and even degraded urban spaces like city lots. It is adaptable and can be found from the lowlands up to 1,000 m with some regularity, extending occasionally to 2,000 m, and exceptionally up to 2,500 m in elevation.

General Info

Behavior

The yellow-browed sparrow is generally easier to see than its sister species is. It is less secretive, and is found in a wider range of grasslands.

Species Status

Because of its very large range and apparently stable population, the yellow-browed sparrow has been designated by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as a species of least concern. It is described as common throughout its range, though its numbers have not been quantified. This species has benefited from the clearing of rainforest for agriculture and cattle ranching; it is common in early successional fields.
