Variable Seedeater for Sale

The Variable Seedeater (Sporophila corvina) for sale is a small finch native to Central and South America, renowned for its diverse plumage patterns. Males exhibit striking variations in black, brown, and chestnut tones across the head, back, and belly, while females have softer, more muted coloring. This species is active, social, and enjoys flying, perching, and exploring, making it an engaging addition to any aviary.

In captivity, Variable Seedeaters thrive on a balanced diet consisting of high-quality finch seed mixes, fresh greens, and occasional protein supplements such as mealworms or egg food. Fresh water should always be available. A spacious cage or aviary with perches and swings encourages natural behaviors and keeps these birds mentally and physically stimulated.

Variable Seedeaters are social birds that do best in pairs or small flocks, so it is recommended to keep more than one. With proper care, they can live 5–7 years, offering long-term enjoyment for bird enthusiasts.
