Feeding Habits
Lined Seedeater primarily feasts on a variety of seeds, especially grass seeds, showcasing a granivorous diet. Foraging typically takes place during the day when lined Seedeater actively hunts for seeds on the ground, utilizing a pecking behavior to extract food. They possess a gizzard adapted for grinding seeds, reflecting a unique dietary specialization.
Habitat
The lined Seedeater is typically found in habitats such as Chaco woodland, caatinga, xeric forests, and various forest patches. This species thrives in broad geographical tropical regions, favoring semi-open landscapes that include open areas with grass and secondary growth near shrubby forests. The lined Seedeater's breeding habitat includes edges of woodlands and forests, particularly up to an elevation of 500 meters, although it can migrate to elevations as high as 1500 meters. During the non-breeding period, the lined Seedeater occupies open grassy savannas, shrubby clearings, and areas with tall grass, often in proximity to water sources.
