Pearly-bellied Seedeater thrives in varied open terrains such as cerrado, vast stretches of savannas, tall-grass formations indicative of mature grasslands, and pastures with light grazing. These environments are typically characterized by their flatness and a mixture of grasses and occasional shrubs or small trees, providing a blend of cover and open spaces conducive to the species' survival and nesting preferences.
