Description
The parrot-billed seedeater (Sporophila peruviana) is a small species of bird in the family Thraupidae. It is found in various shrubby habitats in western Ecuador and western Peru. Outside the breeding season, it is quite social and frequently seen in flocks with other small seed-eating birds.

Feeding Habits
Parrot-billed Seedeater primarily feeds on grass seeds, foraging mostly on the ground. These birds can be solitary, in pairs, or in small groups, forming larger flocks near watering holes during non-breeding season. Their massive bill indicates a preference for larger, harder seeds compared to similar species.
Habitat
The habitat of parrot-billed Seedeater typically consists of arid shrubby regions and hedgerows found within agricultural zones or adjacent to settlements. These birds are inclined to occupy overgrown fields and grassy terrains, as well as the vegetated areas along dry watercourses within broader geographical regions that provide such environmental conditions.
