Description

Lined Seedeater

The Lined Seedeater (Sporophila lineola) is a small finch native to Central and South America, admired for its distinct striped patterns on the head and back. Males display bolder stripes, while females have softer tones that provide natural camouflage. This species is active, social, and enjoys flying and perching, making it a delightful addition to any aviary.

In captivity, Lined Seedeaters thrive on a balanced diet of high-quality finch seed mixes, fresh greens, and occasional protein supplements such as mealworms or egg food. Fresh water should be provided daily. A spacious cage or aviary with perches and swings encourages natural behaviors, keeping the birds both mentally and physically active.

Lined Seedeaters are social birds that do well in pairs or small groups. With proper care, they can live 5–7 years, offering long-term enjoyment for bird enthusiasts.
